TUTORIAL:

Earrings with square peruvian stone buttons

Uploaded on: May 11, 2009
Level: Intermediate
Description:

I found these fantastic stone buttons on my last trip to Peru. This one are used in fine clothes sold in that country made with "alpaca" wool. They are combined in this pair of earrings with silver wire in a simple design that let them prominence.
This same technique can be applied to any button with two or four holes. I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and would like to see many variations with other buttons in the pictures gallery!!!
