Button necklace

I've long had in mind making one of these but shied the trouble of collecting so many different buttons in matching size. Enter "creative button sets"! Having bought one package of each available colour, all I had to do was pick the smaller buttons, check that all colours were evenly represented, and start threading them on invisible nylon thread. I worked with two threads simultaneously - you have the choice of stringing all buttons on one thread and get them irrevocably tangled somewhere half through the project, or work with two threads that just tangle a bit but all the buttons stay in line.

As suspected, I still have plenty of buttons left. Off to more experiments for tailor's jewellery!
