Buttons and Beads

I have a huge stash of buttons.  All kinds of buttons.  I use them for the clasp on fiber neck pieces.  I decided that I also needed to use them for some jewelry.  Pairing a button with my new love of czech glass beads was easy.  I do have a question for the jewelry makers out there.

My question is how do you finish the back of a button that is wire wrapped like this one?

I also made some earrings to match!

 

 

I have worn the bracelet and it actually did not catch on anything.  I do think it needs to be finished on the back to keep the wire from catching on something.  Any ideas would be appreciated!

 

 

Have a great weekend!  M



I am an artist so it is ok!

Love my Friday Bead Friends!  As we were all lamenting about all of the "stuff" we have one of my friends said "Well but you are an artist and artists save everything because they always think that they can make something with it!" 

I do have lots of fabric, beads, clay, yarn, paint, buttons, ribbon.... the list goes on.  I go through and get rid of things but I always am stopping at yard sales or the thrift store and finding new treasures.  It was nice to have the affirmation that it is ok for me to have lots of "stuff"!

I did decide to work on making something with some of my "stuff".  This piece is made from beads, old lace and buttons.  Vintage pretty I think.... now what do I do with it?
