Button Earrings

Carol transforms buttons into earrings by clipping off the backing of the button with a wire clipper, and then filing the nubs with an emery board. Designs may be glued on with jewelry cement or Quick-Tite, or painted on with acrylic paint. Duvall presents some packages (with instructions on the back sides) from JHB International:
