I had much better luck holding the button and twisting, rather than trying to twist the wire strands. And I had a few buttons break! DOH! I'm not sure I'm crazy about them as pins, so I'm thinking I'll offer to turn them into magnets if my SILs prefer. :>) You can see how mine turned out at my Handmade Christmas post (link is under my name) - thanks!!

Especially when we'll have busy hands between now and then to get things done. I'll be making these for my sisters-in-law! I linked to this on my weekly roundup (post is under my name) with admonitions for them to not click through. Wonder if they'll heed? :>) Thanks!!
