The Everlasting Button Ring

The button ring is so old school indie craft. We’ve all made one or bought one or saved an interesting button for a future project. They are simple. They are beautiful. But unfortunately too many people don’t take the time to find the right glue or perfect their technique and eventually they break.

Hi Tree found a brilliant way to fix that. Her button rings are all made with elastic bands. This makes them not only totally adjustable, but also everlasting.

I bought this one on Etsy recently and love it:

Most of her rings look like little trees, which is just so cute:

Just goes to show that the most simple answer to keeping a button on is to sew it on.
