Materials:
- 3 lengths of wax thread (each 1m long)
- Buttons of your choice
- A button with a shank
- 3 embroidery needles
- Clear nail polish
- Sort the buttons – lay them out as you want them to be in the necklace. (this ensures that once you are halfway you have the same number etc to match the first half.)
- Start with the button with the shank and tie your 3 threads to it. Apply clear nail polish to ends to stop them unraveling.
- Using 1 thread, thread 3 buttons on to it, then do the same with the 2 other threads
- Knot the 3 threads together. Repeat No 3 procedure until you get to the desired length for your necklace.
- For the end, plait the 3 threads together, make a loop so it fits over the shank button, tie off and apply clear nail polish to this end also.
