Not to be confused with the absolutely worthless (sorry, the truth hurts) Big Red Button of Doom, the Emergency Party Button has a very specific purpose. Designed to take a vanilla home from mundane to spectacular in just seconds, this connected trigger basically flips a boring crib into a bumpin’ club whenever you see fit. Just to give you an idea of what goes down when you mash the button, you’ll see hallway lights turn off, blinds close, a fog machine come alive, speakers crank up and loads of laser lights turn active. All told, the project cost the builder just north of $600, which seems like a real bargain given what you get. Jump on past the break to have a look on video.

With such a variety of decorative buttons available today, is it any wonder we’ve found a million and one uses for them?

I’ve been addicted to collecting really cool, and unusual buttons for some time now. I’ve been using quite a few of them to make pairs of earrings.

It’s pretty easy, and you won’t need too terribly many supplies. Here’s what you’ll need:

decorative buttons
drill, or dremel
jump rings
earring findings
safety glasses
They are really simple to make, just make sure to wear some safety glasses when using a drill! So, after putting on your wonderful, fashionable safety glasses, drill a hole towards the top of your button. (I wouldn’t use any holes that already exist, as they are really too far down, and some of the decorative buttons out today don’t even have holes!) Make sure that when you drill a hole in your second button, it matches up fairly well to it’s mate.

Add a jump ring to the holes in the two buttons you just drilled, and connect your earring finding to that. And, you’re done! You’ve got yourself a pair of really cute, unique earrings.
