Button Bracelet

Don't you just love all of the buttons Suzan used to make this.

Here's a picture of me wearing it (ignore the old lady arm).

Yardstick Star

I took five of the yardsticks that had a similar width and laid out a 5 point star.

Once the star was lined up I drilled holes through each point of the star and inserted one of these nuts into the front of each point and screwed the bolt on the back.

Here's the front of one of the points.

And here's the back.

Here's what your star should look like.

There's one last step I needed to do to the star before it was finished. I took one small screw and screwed it into one of the areas where the yardsticks cross each other. This insures that the wood will not shift, causing the star to lose it's shape.
