    The button ring is adorable. I forgot about making things like that, but I think that would be fun to make with some of my leftovers! Pretty bracelet, too!

    What beautiful pieces you created with your buttons! The bracelet is really elegant and substantial at the same time. And the ring is really sweet - looks like so much fun to wear and will surely get lots of compliments. I've enjoyed seeing the variety of rings that people have made with their swap buttons! :-)
