And so, I did! I just went through my stash of vintage buttons to use for crafts and chose different red, green and white buttons (thinking "Christmas.")
I alternated red and green on the "top" of the bracelet...
and white along each "side" of the bracelet. I simply sewed the buttons onto the crocheted yarn. (You can see the crocheted part in the top middle-to-right of the bracelet in the photo above.)
I'm very happy with the way it turned out! It's chunky, but surprisingly comfortable! I think it really "pops" and I'm going to have a ball wearing it for casual Christmas-time fun!

That's really cute! Great idea to embellish it with Christmas colors.
I just found a couple of hand crocheted bands...vintage with age...and now I know how I can employ them for simple gifts. Thank you, Mary Helen
Great way to showcase your button collection! I have one I bought years ago on eBay and will have to look around for it. I know it's here somewhere....

What a lovely way to recycle your old buttons......xx
I have tried to make button bracelets before with wide elastic, narrow elastic, beading thread and no real success. Your bracelet has given me inspiration to have another go. I love the colours and patterns you have chose.
I love my buttons too. You can never have enough, so pretty!
