DIY: Gold Button Cufflinks
Filed in: Accessories, DIY, Fashion
Most shirts with french cuffs come with cufflinks made out of little buttons. After I wrote the post yesterday about golden buttons I thought why not make my own cufflinks?
I ended up using the cufflinks that came with the shirt so all I did was changing one of the buttons. You can change both, but one of the buttons have to be small enough to fit the shirt. Use a thread in a wanted color and simply sew the two buttons on to each other. I ended it with spinning the thread around itself until it was pretty thick and tying a good knot. The whole thing was done in about a minute on my first attempt.
By making these cufflinks I incorporated two trends in one: the gold buttons and the masculine looks.

Thanks guys! It’s at least a step up from the cufflinks that came with the shirt. :)
