I want to make some necklaces for kids out of decorator buttons (think Dress it Up/ Jesse James type with the shanks on the back). The shank is in the middle of the button, so I can't just thread the necklace/ribbon through it because it will hang face down. 
I have the tool to cut off the shanks. I also have a bunch of the clear Ranger Tim Holtz Fragment pieces with the holes in the top that I could put a jump ring or split ring through. I'm thinking the easiest way to do it is to glue the button piece onto the fragment with a strong, clear glue.
My question is, would Glossy Accents work as a suitable adhesive for this that will hold the buttons on permanently? I know people use it for gluing stuff onto the acrylic albums because I've done that, and hope it will work for this too since I already have it. I don't want them to fall apart, and I don't want to experiment and ruin one of the buttons since they only come four to a pack and I need them all! Any help would be greatly appreciated since I need to get these made this week. THANKS!
UPDATE: Just in case anyone was interested, the test button I glued onto the TH fragment with Glossy Accents worked GREAT. It looks like it will stay securely attached, dried completely clear and I could see doing that again in the future for something or other. It just didn't happen to work out this time because the buttons I'm using are big and an odd shape, so they didn't match up well with any of the sizes or shapes of the fragments I had to glue them to.
