15 of 15 people found the following review helpful. exceptional button jewelry book...By retroreduxif you love making button jewelry but are looking for more modern or funky designs then I highly suggest this book. The author has included many different projects using easily found materials. The only quirk may be that some projects call for 50+ of the same button but theres no law saying you cannot use different buttons. Full color photos. great instructions-a must for button crafters and collectors with a huge stash of "everyday" buttons looking for something to do with them:)5 stars!recommended!
