Vintage Button Earrings

So, I thought it would be cool to make some of my button stash into earrings, since I have so many and they're so beautiful.  (Like, thousands of them.  Mason jars full, plus several small Rubbermaid bins). 
The antique white buttons are carved from real sea shell, most likely abalone.  They're the kind of buttons those white opalescent are meant to imitate -- you can tell the real ones apart by their weight and irregularities.  If you examine the backs of them you often see flecks of pink or black.
The colourful plastic ones are vintage, mostly from the 60s and 70s, salvaged from second hand clothes of the era.
This is the first batch; they've been really popular so I'm pretty stoked.  Pardon the rough photo quality, this picture was taken late at night after carding these up.
