Hi! I'm Robin with trees-mom.com. We're making a video for Expert Village today. We're crocheting wire to make a Christmas bracelet. This is what we've gotten so far. We have our center decoration, which is a snowman. We have our snowflake for our button closure and our button loop. We have set out our buttons for how we're going to put then on our bracelet. We've decided to do the symmetrical design today where we have a small button, a big button, and a small button. It's going to be on each side of the snowman. We just bring the wire up through the bracelet, take the button, load it onto the wire, and again, we're going to make sure that the button loop is going clear through to the back. We take the wire and go back through the bracelet. Then we're just going to sew it onto the back just like we were sewing a button onto a shirt, making sure that we catch some of the wires from the bracelet up in our loop. Sometimes we may need to get the pliers to pull it up through if it gets stuck a little bit. Probably 2 times around sewing that on will secure it.
