I've been on a big accessory kick lately. I think it's because now the girls are older, I want to move out of a yoga-pants/stained-shirt look to something more polished. Well, at least when I leave the house.
I found a tutorial for some great fabric rings, but my execution was sorely lacking. The ones I made looked really "home sewn", and didn't give the right "punch of color", if you understand where I'm going.
I was still intrigued by the whole "fabric ring" concept and, some searching on Pinterest led me to fabric-covered-button rings. I found success!

I used fabric from a couple fat quarters, I tried to find fabric with smaller prints that would translate well onto such a small surface. I had a bit of a hard time finding ring blanks with pads, neither JoAnns nor Michaels had them, but I found some at Hobby Lobby.
I didn't use the extra button in the linked tutorial since the button fit snugly over the ring blank pad. I also brushed a couple coats of Modge Podge on the buttons as a last step, to keep the fabric clean.
I absolutely love them. I might make more, or even try making a bracelet or a necklace!
