Tuesday Tutorial: Dangle Fabric-Covered Button Earrings
Last week I participated in the month of crafts that Megan at Brassy Apple was hosting. She had a whole month full of crafty goodness! Want to see what I created to share on her blog? I knew you would! Here goes…
I have a super easy but fashionable project for you today. We’ve all seen the fabric covered button earrings, but I put my own little twist on it today. This is the first time I’ve made fabric covered buttons, and I was amazed at how easy it was! Let’s get started!
You’ll need a fabric button making kit (you can get this at any craft store), a scrap of fabric, paper clips, and ear wires. Tools you’ll need are scissors, wire cutters, and a hot glue gun (or adhesive of your choice).
Make your fabric covered buttons by following your kits instructions (it’s super easy!). In four more steps you’ll have some pretty dangle earrings…
If you’d like to go all out and make some beaded dangles, you just have a few more steps and you can add some extra fun to the buttons. You’ll need a few extra things for these: round nose pliers, 24 gauge wire and beads.

What size are your buttons ?? I looked on amazon and see like 24, 36 , all the way to 60 but I like the size you have .

I’m sorry, this was so long ago I don’t remember. They are about 1/2” in size if that helps
