When drilling holes in the button, be sure not to drill in farther than the diameter of jump rings.
Using a jump ring: grab ends of jump ring at either side and cut with pliers. Twist ring open. String through drilled hole in button. Twist tightly closed.
Made bead dangle: string beads on headpin. Bend pin at 90-degree angle just above top bead. Trim end of pin to ½”. Grab end of pin with round nose pliers. Roll back toward beads, forming a loop.
Press trimmed wires on back of buttons tightly to the button so wire ends will not snag clothes during wearing.
