Great co-worker gifts, super cheap and super easy.

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...(?)

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.

Nip the back off the button so it lays flat.

Glue it on and glam it up!
