Using Buttons as Bezels…so cool!

This is such a cool way to up-cycle buttons into beautiful resin filled bezels!

Here is a list of some of the items you can use:
1.  Old book pages

2.   Pyrite Flakes

3. Broken Rhinestone or Jewelry

4.  Embellished Ribbon

5.  Small Buttons or Beads

6.  Decorative Fibers

7  Big old buttons with rim or very inexpensive large plastic buttons

 Line the buttons with paper and add several coats of Ultra Seal.
This protects the paper and gives a nice background.
Then start gluing down some embellishments.
(Ultra Seal is a glue and dries clear too!)

Continue to add embellisments until you are pleased with the looks.
 Slowly pour in Jewelry Resin, it is a little trickier to pour resin over objects that are so dimensional.  Over-pours can happen quickly so take your time. 
Let dry completely!

Check out the beautiful results!

Imagine what you can create with bits and pieces…

Give it a try and have fun!
