Milomade Elasticated Button Brooches

These braceletes often remind people of the confectionery type bracelets and necklaces you could buy at the sweet shop as a child. I'm not sure if this type of confectionery jewellery is still made, but that's the memory these bracelets evoke.

Such a simple idea transforms buttons into something beautiful to cherish and wear. They are made from beads and buttons threaded onto elastic thread and so are nice and stretchy and comfortable to wear and will fit most wrists.

These bracelets are created from a vast stash of shirt buttons I have amassed over the years and I team these up with new similar sized colourful buttons to form simple patterns in long strands that can then be made into bracelets. I like to make unique items but there might be some bracelets that end up the same as I think the pattern works and is worth repeating. All in all - a unique piece of eco chic - made from recycled vintage and new buttons threaded onto elastic.
