One of the coolest reasons to make these earrings is they are thrifty and environment-friendly. Don't trash things, reuse and make gorgeous upcycled pieces without spending dollars.
How to Make Button Earrings Easily That is Rare & Elevates Your Look
I have got an excellent idea to recycle wood pieces with a beautiful combination of buttons. So first important step is to gather a couple of wooden pieces and forge them using a Dremel machine.
If you don't have a knack for woodworking, get the desired wood shapes from a carpenter. So let me walk you through the process.
- Fancy wooden Buttons
- Pair of Teardrop wood shapes (Drilled)
- Pair of mirror shapes
- E6000 Glue or E8000 glue
- Pair of Eye Pins
- Pair of fine glass beads
- Acrylic paint
- Paintbrush
- 150 grit sandpaper
- Earring hook
- 12mm jump rings
- Flat nose plier
- Round nose plier
Rub wood shapes continuously on 150-grit sandpaper until you see the scratches are completely gone. You will see a fine finished shape.
Start to paint wood shapes all over the piece using golden acrylic paint. Let it dry completely.
Take a 12mm jump ring which is quite a bigger one and open the ends. Insert them into the buttonhole then close the ends using a flat nose plier.
Once you're done with connecting the components, time to close the end of the jump ring with a flat nose plier. Slightly press the open ends with a plier and it's done.
This is a very important step as we are making long drop button earrings. Open the mouth of the jump ring and connect it to the eye-pin loop and finally close the ends of the jump ring with a flat nose plier.

Apply E6000 glue to the wood shape right at the central area and put the mirror shape to it.
Take another jump ring, open the end, connect to the wood hole, and further with an eye pin loop. You will see the beautiful design shimmers.
Finally, connect earring hooks over the top of your button earrings and it's all done. In addition, I would strongly recommend apply varnish to the wood shape and leave it overnight. I taught some basics of wooden jewelry you can surely check it out.
