This project shows you how to create unique button earrings for Halloween. After gluing buttons together and to earring posts, you attach jump rings and ear wires. The final step adds safety sleeves for secure wear.

You'll need

Directions

  1. If using four buttons, apply E-6000 or another strong adhesive to glue two pairs together. Align the holes, but keep one hole in each pair free of glue so a jump ring can fit through later. Let the adhesive cure completely for at least 24 hours.
  2. Use E-6000 to glue the buttons to the earring posts. Position the assembly upside down with the posts facing upward and let it dry for at least 24 hours.
  3. Attach the earring butterfly nuts onto each post.
  4. Using needle-nose pliers, open one 9mm jump ring and thread it through one of the glue-free button holes, then close the jump ring.
  5. Open another jump ring, slide an ear wire onto it, then connect this jump ring to the first jump ring that is already attached to the button.
  6. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to assemble the second earring.
  7. Finally, attach the earnut safety sleeves to the backs of each ear wire.
