This is something I have been meaning to post about for a while now and, after a manic few weeks of home renovations (photos to follow as soon as I've wiped the sawdust and polyfilla from my camera lens!), I am finally able to do so.From a crafting point of view, these button rings were quite possibly the simplest project I have undertaken for some time. A handful of vintage buttons, a few ring mounts and a good tube of superglue and hey presto! That said, I have definitely come to realise the importance of good preparation when it comes to bonding plastic and metal together with superglue - its quite a brittle thing, superglue, and some of my efforts were quite short-lived as a result. However, after a bit of sanding & "roughing up" and a more specialist glue (this one comes highly recommended), I think this is a rather thrifty and effective way of expanding ones jewellery collection!
