A little while ago I bought some beautiful vintage buttons at the local flea.
Before the holidays I turned them into a gift for a friend.
I simply thread the buttons on a string and tied a beautiful silk ribbon on each side to tie around her wrist.
It kinda looks like a very pricy bracelet.
I guess it should be our secret that it only cost around $10.

Hi Paul,
Would you be able to post a picture of the underside of the bracelet? Just so we can see the thread and exactly how you attached the ribbon?
Thanks for being so creative!
