Turn a Pretty Button into A Easy Bead Embroidered Pendant
1 Attachment(s)
This would be really lovely using a lampworked button, but I was asked to use a metal one for the tutorial/demo. For your first try, use a button with holes in it (not a shank button) and a flat back.
Enjoy! http://goodrivergalleries.com/ButtonPendant.pdf |

Thank you, Karen! I'll see whether I can get a photo up sometime soon of the technique using a lampwork button...
|
Will it work if the button isn't round? My lampwork buttons are usually oval, no matter how hard I try to make them round. :)
|
Yup. It'll work if its not round. Oval is just as easy. Its a little harder if you have a bunch of bumps on it like this guy:

Hey! I recognize that bracelet! :lol:
Thanks Hannah! I will use one without the bumps. |
Beautiful pendant Hannah. Thanks so much for sharing.

Thank you Hannah,this is very generous of you to share.

ThAnKs Hannah!!!
Love this new tutorial and have printed it out to hopefully try soon. I have a great stash of buttons crying for more uses.;-) |
your work is always stunning and it was awfully nice for you to share with us :-) I have lots of cabs....I need to give this a whirl but I'm horrible at color mixing. Seriously horrible!
|
Thanks much for your kind words. I enjoy doing these freebies!
Please keep ideas coming for more "how-tos." I appreciate the suggestions. |
