Chanel Inspired Charm Bracelet......made from ?????

I'm just going to say it, I'm NOT a fan of button bracelets.  I like the idea, but they always look like buttons to me.  Well, I finally came up with a solution and I'm pretty happy with it.  Here's the result and I hope you like it as much as I do!

You'll need
Drill & small bit
Piece of scrap wood to drill on 
20 Large plastic buttons 
40 1/2 pearls
Chain
Lobster claw
Wire
Sharpie pen
E-6000
Wire cutters
Drill through the edge of each button 
Glue the pearls to one side and let them dry for 15 minutes  
Glue pearls to the other side and let them dry for another 15 minutes (You might have to stand them on a crumpled towel to keep the pearls from slipping when they other side dries
Wrap 2 feet of wire around a marker 
 This makes a spring
 Clip the spring along one line to make large jump rings
 Measure your chain
Add your closure and end jump ring
