Button Clusters can be done with the plainest of buttons which can be made to sparkle with beads…
An odd number of buttons works best and overlap the buttons as you stitch them on so that they do cluster.
Individual beads can be sewn in each hole.
Several beads can be bunched on top of the button by coming up through one hole, threading on several beads and going down through the other hole.
The dangling beads are done by comming up through a hole in the button, thread on desired length of beads, select the end bead and go through it only once before putting the neddle back through the rest of the beads in the dangle and the same hole in the button…leave thread a bit loose when securing thread on the back, if thread is to tight the dangle will stick up instead of dangling

Thank you so much for showing the buttons and beads. I’ve never thought of that and always hated how ugly the centers of buttons looked.
