Quick Craft – Button Bracelets for Dolls

doll bracelets from buttons

As part of Camp Doll Diaries preview week, Callie set up a station for the campers visiting Camp Doll Diaries for the morning to make some easy button bracelets. 

You only need 3 supplies to make these fun bracelets:

  • Buttons – any size (although small works better with dolls) – of course mine are from Laura Kelly’s collection
  • Elastic thread or embroidery floss
  • Scissors

Step 1 – Gather your supplies

Step 2 – Cut a piece of elastic string about 12″ long – you will end up trimming it at the end. Fold it in half and tie a loop. Thread your string through your first button as shown.

Step 3 – Continue adding buttons – you can thread through just two holes, criss cross, or get creative and make your own style. When you get to the last button – this will vary based on the size of the buttons and the size of your doll’s wrist – tie the two ends together tightly and trim the excess string.

Step 4 – Wrap the bracelet around your doll’s wrist. Pull the loop over the last button for a perfect fit and for easy removal.

How cute are those? I think this one would look great with the new American Girl Flamingo dress.

If you make this, take photos of the finished product and email them to me at share@dolldairies.com or post them on your Instagram account and tag us (@dolldiaries)!

Have a great Friday!

    So very cute. Each bracelet will be unique depending on what kind of buttons are used. Great idea! Thank you for sharing.
