Homemade crafts are what Mother's Day is all about. Show Mom you care by making her a M-O-M Bracelet that spells out her name, or a beautiful Mother's Day Button Bracelet like the one below!

Materials

• one piece of elastic cord about 10 to 12 inches long
• several shank buttons

• scissors

Instructions

1.
String a button onto the cord. Leave it about 3 inches from the end and tie a knot to secure.
2.
Continue stringing on more buttons. Tie each one on with a knot.
3.
As you approach the end of the cord, test the bracelet size around your wrist. Stop when the bracelet fits loosely around your wrist.
4.
Knot the two ends together and you have your bracelet. Trim the ends.

Tips

• If the elastic frays while stringing the beads, trim the edges or wrap some tape around the ends.
• Turn it into a key chain by adding a key ring!
