DIY Leather Button Ring

Weekend project! This is a great way to pass the time on a rainy Saturday, I did! Super easy, very unique and comfy as all get out thanks to the leather.
What you’ll need:
- Leather scrap
- An old button
- Needle and thread
Take the leather and cut it to your desired width. Wrap it around your finger to determine length and cut accordingly, allowing a bit extra. Overlap the ends about 1/2″ and place your button on top. Simply sew the button onto the leather and voila!
If you don’t have leather scraps or old buttons lying around, check out your local craft store. They’ve got a ton of both!
The Naughty Secretary Club
This chick is amazing! Definitely an inspiration to me and I’m sure a lot of other women. Founded by Jennifer Perkins (the lovely lady pictured above), Naughty Secretary Club includes a collection of kitchy jewelry and accessories all with a serious wow factor! Everything is hand made by Jen herself and trust me, no one on the streets will be sporting anything else quite like it. Each piece is unique and based on objects Jen finds and recycles into gorgeous works of art!
Jen has always had a passion to create, even as a young child where she got her start selling earrings made from fishing lures out of her parents garage. After obtaining a degree in Pychology, she set out to join the work force and was only able to find a job as a secretary. Not that there’s anything wrong with that (Seinfeld) but it left her with a lot of free time on her hands and thus, more time to craft!
This non stop craft fest eventually manifested as naughtysecretary club.com. The site has been a huge success with Jen’s work being featured in countless magazines such as Teen Vogue, Lucky and Seventeen. In addition to her site, she’s also the co-host of DIY’s Stylicious and Craft Lab.
Check out some of her masterpieces below and go snag yourself some one of a kind, wearable art!
This piece is very reminiscent of Marni to me, minus the hefty price tag of course!
Under da sea! Love this cute little seahorse cameo cuff.

Embrace your inner child! These appropriately titled bubbles earrings remind me of one of my favorite childhood past times, blowing bubbles!
