Gather your materials
You will need:
-A pair of jewelry pliers or needle nose pliers
-20 gauge jewelry wire
-Hot glue and gun
-Some 8mm pearls
Cut 3-5 inches of wire.
String 2 of the 8mm pearls like so onto the wire.
Twist the bottom to make a shank.
Twist the top to make a place to put the pearls onto.
Add a pearl to each side with a dab of hot glue.
Add more until wire is hidden and until button is desired size.
Finished button
Tester Erin Freund did hers another way and
created a beautiful pearl button as well!
Neat idea!
I tried making pearl rings this way a few years ago – it was quite messy, but fun trying to come up with the different color combinations. I also found that the hot glue didn’t hold for long with use – perhaps E6000?
E6000 I think is what Erin used! Yes I think it would be a wonderful idea to use that! I don’t normally fiddle in my jewelry making supplies, although I have quite a lot. Mostly because shiny things attract me lol
