I've made these as stocking fillers for my daughter. I must love her lots to part with my vintage buttons!
A button found on a hiking trail somewhere in West Virginia. On the back is some writing in Cyrillic, including "CCCP". Probably from a Russian military greatcoat or something of the sort.
I actually cheated and got this picture on my scanner. Much easier since I don't have a decent macro camera.
This button is from the now defunct Western Welsh Bus Company. It is stamped on the back "Manclare & Son Edinburgh".

5. Next is the wire, I start at the tail end and either coil it or twist a small loop so that it has a finished end. You can leave the loop as is or use it to attach a charm or something similar.
6/7. Start adding the buttons with the first button at the tail end by threading the wire from back to front and then back down in the opposite hole. If the button is one with four holes, start the same and then just come back up in of the empty holes and back down the opposite again. It is just like sewing a button.
8. As you add more buttons, always start them from back to front. Each time I add a new button, I like to flatten the strand before taking the wire back through so that I can make sure I don't have any gaps.

The Wheeling area has a plethora of older button copy signs. I suppose these will eventually be replaced if or when West Virginia updates the Wheeling area freeways and bridges. These signs are on the Fort Henry Bridge.
