DIY Vintage Button Necklace

SUPPLIES & TOOLS:

• Aleene’s Jewelry & Metal Glue
• Gold Chain Necklace
• Vintage Button
• 10mm Bezel Round Blank
• Jewelry Cutters
• Jewelry Pliers (2)
• Sandpaper
• Wet Cloth or Rag

DIRECTIONS:

1. Snip off the loop on the back of the button using your jewelry pliers.
2. Go over the back of the button with a piece of sandpaper. This will make it smooth so the bezel will lay flat and will also help it bond better to the button. Then, wipe away any residue with a wet cloth.
3. Apply Aleene’s Jewelry and Metal Glue to the flat side of the bezel, using the tip to spread the adhesive.
4. Place the bezel towards the top of your button and press the surfaces together for several seconds until it’s bonded.
5. Use your jewelry pliers to remove the jump ring at the end of your necklace. (Or use your pliers to open the bail on the bezel).
6. Slide the chain though the bail on the bezel. (Or place the chain inside of the bail and clamp it back together with your pliers).
7. Place the jump ring back on the end of the necklace chain and close.
