You can use ANY type of button of any size, shape or color for this project. Have fun and make a funky mix that expresses your personality. Gold tones and teal, multicolor or black and white. They ALL look adorable and are all equally affordable.
You could use a needle if you are having trouble with the cord. I just didn't want to bother since I stab myself way too much when sharp objects are involved.
Another way this can be made is with elastic tape. Cut an elastic tape to a bit tighter than you would want the end product to be (I've noticed that the buttons make it a bit bigger- maybe their weight pulling on the elastic), but add about 3/4" on the end. Sew the ends together (accounting for this 3/4"), and sew each button on seperately: secure each one on with a knot.
It also looks cute and interesting if you stack some smaller buttons on top of larger ones!
Continue on until all buttons have been sewn on, then tie a finishing securing knot. You're done!
Here's mine:
Enjoy!
