Instructions for button chains

Before you begin with the crafting, sort your buttons by colour and patterns. Then thread them up on your string. Because you need some string to close your chain at the back of your neck, the buttons should not be strung up all the way back.

At the end of the arranged buttons make a knot which should be greater than the buttonholes. This prevents that buttons can slip through. Subsequently, the ends of the thread are tied, so that the chain cannot open all by itself.
