This tutorial is an easy and quick button craft for making a button bracelet using buttons of different shapes and narrow ribbons. It’s fun to make for daily or party activities.

Button Bracelet Idea

If you have mismatched buttons, turning them into a fun bracelet is always a good idea. The bracelet can match the color of your outfit. It’s a fun accessory to wear for a summer road trip or spend the day at the craft market.

This bracelet is as easy as the braided bracelet from felt. After preparing all the material you need, you will have a finished bracelet in under ten minutes.

Supply To Make The Bracelet

Use colorful mismatched buttons or the same color for a monochrome look. I used a mix of plastic and painted wooden buttons for this project.

Four colorful button and ribbon bracelets.

Use the thin, narrow ribbon to make threading it through the button easier. Wrapping one ribbon’s end with transparent tape also helps, or you can trim the ribbon end into a small pointy end, then seal it with the lighter to prevent fraying.

Thin narrow ribbon
6 to 8 Buttons
Lighter
Transparent tape

Button Bracelet Tutorial

Seal the raw edge of the ribbon with a lighter.

Roll one ribbon’s end into a tiny piece, then wrap it with transparent tape. The tape will make it easier to thread the buttons.
Measure the ribbon by wrapping it around your wrist, then add 12″.
Knot the ribbon on one end, right on the 6″ mark.

Thread the ribbon through the button.

Continue threading the button as much as you want.

Put the bracelet on your wrist.
Measure the length to get the correct fit on your wrist.

Remove one button if you need it shorter, or add more buttons if you need it longer.
Wrap the bracelet around your wrist, then make a bow knot on the extra ribbon on both ends. Cut the excess ribbon if it is too long.

You can adjust the distance between the buttons by sliding them. Add charms like bells, seashells, clay charms, or beads to make the bracelet more fun-looking.

This bracelet is one of the easy ribbon craft ideas. You can use a stretchy cord, friendship bracelet string, embroidery floss, or yarn if the narrow ribbon is unavailable.

This craft project is great for a birthday party activity, summer camp, or class project.
