Supplies

Here’s what you’ll need for this project:

• 2 buttons: one larger and one smaller; one or both buttons should be flower-shaped
• 20-gauge soft round wire, 12″ (30.5 cm) long (I used Artistic wire in “gunmetal” color)
• Ring mandrel (or a dowel, PVC pipe, magic marker, or other item that’s the same circumference as your finger)
• Wire cutter
• Flat nose, round nose, and chain nose pliers
• Jewelry hammer – plastic, rubber, nylon, or rawhide

For the “how-to” part of this tutorial, please watch the video above.
