Instructions
  1. Button Bracelet - Step 1 Select snapshots with faces that will fit on your buttons.

  2. Cut a piece of elastic about 2 inches longer than you'd like the finished bracelet to be. Thread the buttons onto the elastic as shown until the bracelet is the desired size, leaving an extra inch of elastic on each end of the bracelet.

  3. Using a coin or other round object as a template, trace circles around the faces and cut them out; you can also use a circular craft punch.

  4. Glue the photos to the buttons and decorate the edges with 3-D paint or glitter paint if you'd like. Tie the ends of the bracelet together and snip off the extra elastic.
