How to make a Sugru mouldable glue and recycled button ring

April 5, by Stefanie Girard. Leave a Comment

I have something so fun to share with you today. There is this new mouldable glue called Sugru that comes in lots of colors and is so easy to work with. I love using old single earrings and buttons to make jewelry with. So I thought I’d try out this new mouldable glue and make a ring with this glittery  recycled button.

Looking for vintage buttons? Check these out on Etsy.

I covered my ring mandrel with a bit of scotch tape at the size I wanted to make, size 7. If you don’t have a ring mandrel use a marker that I ring you like the fit of will slide on.  All I did was cut open the pink package of Sugru and formed a strip around the mandrel. To glue the button onto the band I took a small ball of the Sugru and pressed it onto the back of the glitter button and then pressed it onto the Sugru that was wrapped around the mandrel.

I decided to try one more technique with this Sugru and glitter button ring. I thought I’d try rubber stamping a word around the ring. It worked great!

I let the ring dry for 24 hours as the package directed. I used my fingernail to gently loosen the ring from the tape and it slid off the mandrel. This project couldn’t be any easier to make! I will most definitely be making more of these recycled button and earring Sugru rings.

Modern patterned recycled cardboard and TP tube sculptures

I have posted other recycled cardboard sculpture crafts but today’s really caught my eye for two reasons. The first is the fun way simple patterns created on the surfaces really made this look modern and fun. The second was using a tp tube as the base. The combo of the ovals and the tp tube just went together nicely. Pop on over to the blog Artful Parent to see more about how to make painted patterned recycled cardboard and TP tube sculptures.
