And with the Push of a Simple Button...

Hello and welcome!  My name is Jenn and I have been meaning to start a craft blog for a while now.  Since today kicks off National Craft Month, it seems fitting to debut today and with the project that kicked my crafting into high gear: a button ring.  
This is both my first button ring and my first full jewelry piece!

If you're not familiar with the button ring, it's exactly as its name implies- a ring made by layering a series of buttons.  It's just a matter of finding the right combination of sizes, colors, and textures.  This ring was inspired by a boho blend bracelet that a friend gave me for Christmas last year.  The style and most of the colors are relatively new additions to my wardrobe, so the bracelet was both a welcomed gift and an intriguing challenge.

Button rings are usually finished with a wire knot center, but I used a copper and teal jewelry connector as a centerpiece so the ring could hold its own against such an ornate bracelet.   Now I have a matching set!

Before I close, I'd like to give a shout out to one of my favorite crafters, JensInkSpot, who used to make the most beautiful button rings I had ever seen and inspired me to get into it.

Thanks for reading my first post!  My goal is to share a new project each week to get this blog going, so hope you'll check me out again next week.
