Tutorial – Full instructions for  a button fastening bracelet

Button – The hand-made cat button is made by Incomparable Buttons, which is a community business in South Africa, employing local women and using environmentally friendly materials and production processes. Each button has its own individual character, so the illustration can only be a guide, but each one has been chosen by me!

Seed beads, size 8 – The beads are a carefully selected mix of Miyuki seed beads in tones of blue, including a variety of different shades and finishes. This is enough for ONE bracelet

Cord – S-Lon 0.5mm/Tex 210

Binding thread

Needles – sewing needle and large-eye needle

Threading Loop and stop beads – small details which make a difference!
