i had just some free time today to dive into my 8 pounds of vintage buttons. i was experimenting with different types of glue and i found that hot glue gun seemed to do the job well.
i bought some velcro straps used for tying up cables and electrical cords. they come in multi color packs at staples and i used them as bracelets by hot glued an array of vintage buttons on to one side. i made one complete bracelet with white buttons on yellow velcro. it looks pretty interesting. i also made some vintage buttons tacks by gluing thumb tacks on to the back of the buttons. i really love how those turned out. i was also playing around with velcro dots on buttons. i could probably make them into a design your own bracelet with different arrangement of buttons. maybe a kit with two different color velcros and 12 different vintage buttons as a set. and i can also sell buttons with velcro backing as sets too.
