Instructions:
Start out by painting the bead white then cover it with glitter while the paint is still wet, you can also use glitter paint. You can leave the furniture button the color it is, or paint it.

Once the paint is dry, glue the bead on top of the button and you have made a miniature crystal ball. Make sure that the holes on the bead are on the sides. Let the glue dry completely and then thread the ribbon or yarn through the hole to create the necklace!
