Button Stashbusting?

I'm not sure if this counts as a stashbust but it is a moderately easy and pretty quick project to put together.

Button Earrings!! I got my ears pierced solely so I could wear dangly earrings. Even though the stud button earrings are cute; (I even have two pair) I needed to make a seamstress's favorite notion a dangly masterpiece.

I used wire and spacer beads for most of them so I could easily use different size buttons. This results in a straight drop earring.
If the buttons are small enough you can use jump rings. I used the larger ones through the bigger holes and the small rings to connect them. This results in a loose jinglier earring.
You can see the flexibility in the
jump ring pair.
 I think they are cheerful happy little things. I'm taking them to the craft show with me and I almost hope they don't sell... Would you buy button earrings? Have an itch now to make your own???
