It came to be that it needs to be a bracelet because it's on the smaller side and I wanted it to be the focal. After much futzing around, I came up with this design. I used black onyx rounds and some gorgeous red faceted rounds - I don't know what they are, but they are some kind of gemstone and they are fantastic!

I love the silver wire idea, it lets the button be the focal. Being a seed beader, the only thing I might have done differently was to string some seedies on the wire, but that's cause I'm a bit obsessed. :)
Have a wonderful Mother's Day!
I love red and black together, great job!
Dealing with button holes was a hard one for me too, and I ended up doing your glass button in my design the same way—with two wrapped loops on the back—it worked out wonderfully! :-)
I can't wait to see what you make with the other buttons! Thanks for making this swap such a fun one for me!! :-)

It is simple and colorful with an Asian flair Love it !
Honestly, with a button in the shape that you used, the way you did it was probably best. I had all round buttons, and I attached mine with two pieces of wire, overlapping on the front and back and creating a loop by wrapping both sides/ends, but with such a beautiful design on the front, you don't really want to cover any of it with wire!!!
I'm so glad I was able to stop by your blog. I know it's taking me a few days to poke through all of the entries, but I'm bound and determined to visit everyone! Thanks for sharing your finished product <3
