Got a large button stash? Then it's time to get creative with more button jewelry projects.

I actually bought some large confetti buttons using them for a bead on a wire project. However, I like even more the button bracelet project by Blumenthal Lansing Co (Update : link no longer works). Very colorful and fun use of these large buttons to team up with smaller ones from your stash!

This Chunky Bracelet tutorial by Bead Studio (Update : Link no longer works) features one hole resin beads but you could easily do it with larger 2-hole buttons. Just make sure you can get a thin enough thread,  cord or leather through the holes.

Obstinate Pursuit created this lovely shank Button and Bead tutorial. She certainly whittled down her button collection a bit!

You can also use buttons as embellishments to decorate wooden bracelets.  This Button and Thread bracelet tutorial is by Maria Nerius of FaveCrafts using Blumenthal Lansing buttons.

Don't like wooden bangle bases?  Then try the soft felt button cuff bracelet tutorial on Craftbits. Come to think of it, this design could take a mix of buttons, beads, crystals and so on. So the possibilities are endless!
