Cute as a Button

My students are learning about all the different types of figurative language, including puns, idioms, metaphors, personification, alliteration, etc. They would be thrilled to know that I used a simile in my title! But that's life in the fifth grade for you.

I found a cute idea for a quick and easy button bracelet. They come out pretty adorable, 

but I think this looks a little more appropriate on younger girls than on an adult. 

However, I wanted to share because they are a simple way to add some interest!

 Lay out the pattern you want; I played around with mine for a while before I found one that I liked. After doing this first one, I found that smaller buttons work better.

 Create a loop in your yarn (I used plastic coated but anything durable would work) and knot it off. Begin to "sew" the buttons on to the strands, criss-crossing as you go.

 Ta-da! I made two different ones, but honestly, the possibilities are endless and 

this only took about five minutes to finish. Not to shabby!

Hardest part: Cats wanting to "help"... thanks Ellie.
