Hi! I'm Robin with trees-mom.com. We're making a video for Expert Village. We're crocheting a Christmas wire bracelet today. This is what we've gotten so far. Now we're going to add the button at the end that's going to go into this loop. The first thing you need to do is make sure that your button is going to fit in the loop. This one looks like it will just barely fit, so that'll be good. What we're going to do is just put it on the end of the bracelet. This is a button, so we put the button loop right on top of the wire. Take this extra tail that we have and just sew it on like a regular button. You may want to push the edges together on the end to make it a more finished look, or you can just keep it square. It doesn't matter. Whatever you would like to do. We're just going in and out making sure to keep the button loop on top of the wire. When we do the other buttons, we're going to sync the button loop down into the wire, but this one we want to keep it on top so it's easier for the loop, the button loop, to get on and off. You just sew this on until it's secure.
