We all need an extra bit-o-glam at work. I came up with this idea about 5 years ago and gave them to all my co-workers for Christmas. (Yes, I even made some plain ones for the guys.)

They were a huge hit and I still have a few friends who have brought theirs back every few years when it breaks for a new one.

Cost? About .75 for the badges in bulk and buttons, broken earrings, plastic flowers or whatever else you want to use...(?)

You Will Need (4 things)

  • 4 Vintage Button
  • Clip on Badge Holder
  • Rubber cement or Hot Glue Gun
  • Jewelry Nippers

Steps (3 steps, 10 minutes)

  1. 1

    The only thing not shown here is the glue. I used a hot glue gun. Rubber Cement is fine. Super glue if it's a flat button.

    This button is concave so a thicker glue to fill in the gap was used.

  2. 2

    Nip the back off the button so it lays flat.

  3. 3

    Glue it on and glam it up!
