Black MOP shank buttons

What to do with a bag of beautiful silky black, MOP, carved shank, vintage buttons? String them like beads!

I had one problem: I had two kinds of carved buttons. One group was carved thinner than the majority of the other buttons and they did not bead well (they didn't overlap right). So I made a pendant of sorts of the flatter,thinner, buttons and then strung the other thicker buttons for the necklace strands.



 I attached a ready made silk cord (from Asian City store) which saved a lot of time and I now have a silky smooth strand of black pearls....I mean MOP buttons.!
