Most of us probably collect buttons. If you have some pretty ones, check out this awesome tip from Lisa Yang who shows how she turned a button into a clasp with some simple wiring. I agree with her that the button really hides the clasp and becomes a focal in itself.
This is a large button measuring 1.5 inch across so the wire gauge looks deceptively thin. But the designer used 16 G wire. 18 G and 16 G are good strong wire gauges to use for clasps.

What a great idea! Especially since the button doesn't need to be a shank button!
