This little project is so easy and fun that you probably don't even need my instructions! I like to wear my hair up in the summer, a LOT of the time, so I started making these as a way to feature my ever-growing collection of buttons. Start with these items:
A hair elastic (preferably in some bright non-serious color)
A fabric flower with a hole in the center (I made mine from a strip of old lace trim, following the instructions here on Beading Arts)
A shank button (large enough to make a nice flower center and not slip through the hole)
A jump ring (not pictured, because I thought of it later!)
Originally, I was going to sew the button to the elastic band through the hold in the center of the flower, but I decided to use a jump ring instead, because then I could change the button if I wanted to! If you wanted to use a non-shank button, you could definitely sew it on, maybe using some embroidery floss in a fun contrasting color.
