Cupcake Whimsy Bracelet

I love the coin bracelet jewelry finding used to make this bracelet craft. It’s a fast, yet pretty way to create any kind of bracelet you like.

Materials:

• Cupcake buttons from Happy Birthday Favorite Findings button set (Blumenthal Lansing)
• Wire cutters or shank removing tool
• Coin bracelet jewelry finding
• Aleene’s Jewelry Glue
• Assorted colors of bugle seeds

Instructions:

1. Sort out cupcake buttons from mixture. Keep the other buttons for future projects. Remove the shank from the cupcake buttons with a wire cutter or shank removing tool. The shanks are plastic and should cut easily. With the shank removed the buttons will lay flat.
    
2. Lay coin bracelet in front of you. Note that the cupcake buttons are applied every other coin blank. Adhere cupcakes to the flat metal coins.
    
3. Apply glue to the remaining open coin flats. Sprinkle bugle beads over the glue. Allow to dry.
