~Vintage mother of pearl mop button bracelet~

One of my many passions is collecting vintage buttons.

Bakelite and mother of pearl being my favorites.
What is mother-of-pearl you ask?
It's the pearly inside layer of shells such as oysters ...
  After making my vintage bakelite button bracelet

I then gathered my mop buttons

and went to work on this one...

once the main buttons were added 

I sewed the bracelet closed

 and then added more smaller buttons

 for a total of 55 buttons

What I used:

1-1/2" wide white waistband elastic

3 large 2" mop buttons

52 other various size smaller mop buttons

quilt thread that I bees waxed

The above photo shows you

 how messy the inside looks but 

 I wanted to make sure my buttons were secure

 Let me know if you make one

 I'd LOVE to see it!

 Have fun :-}
