Button Necklaces Zero Waste Workshop
Upcycle buttons into a beautiful necklace
2.5 hours

(private)
(private classes)
label $25 - $29 (Earlybird price of $26 applies if you book into a public session 20+ days ahead, otherwise $29 per guest when you book for 1+ guests, $25 for 3+ guests. $30 per class surcharge applies for private classes)
What you'll do
Buttons date back to 5000 years ago when they served as ornaments rather than fasteners. So let's pay tribute and put them on full display and make them a statement accessory in this fun Sydney workshop!
In this 2.5 hour workshop, Deanne Barnes will take you through how to make a beautiful necklace from a selection of neutral coloured buttons. Deanne makes it look simple, but there's actually quite a lot that goes into selecting the colours and sizes to make it look effortless. There are also a few secrets to threading it just right, especially when you're aiming for the double layers.
We will supply neutral coloured buttons, however, if you have statement buttons that you've been collecting or have your grandma's button box to raid, please feel free to bring them along.
You will leave with a 'new to you' necklace that's cute as a button!

My mum and I enjoyed the button necklace making workshop very much. Deanne was a wonderful teacher and has a wonderful happy personality. The other ladies in the class were lovely too.
