I got rid of all my button collections when I moved... just not enough room or time.... sigh.. I miss them...

NOW... that I dont have them and have an official sewing room..... I've been trying to recollect them from Goodwill/Garages sales, etc... I plan to make @ 3 inch strip of fabric..... doubled and quilted for stability and then glue or stitch an all over button design onto it, and put this up around my little sewing room as if it were wallpaper border..

*sigh* it will take me forever to recollect enough.... but a girl can dream!!

I have used buttons on quilts, crocheted button necklaces, made ornaments with buttons, have a lampshade I embellished with buttons, and have many ideas for all the 1000's of buttons I have.

Google button crafts...first item up is button craft images and there are a bunch of ideas!

If you really don't want your buttons, I see there are many people interested in them...just don't throw them away as I have heard people have done with buttons...some can be quite valuable.

Many years ago the National Button Society had a convention in our town. I found out then just how much money people can spend on buttons. It was fun to go to, and see what types of buttons people collect...and put on boards to display.

Hope you find a way to use the buttons in a memorable way.

I saw a pattern that is a jar with buttons sewed on to look like the button jar!

I love buttons, though I don't have but a few. I use to look at my grandmother's sewing things, and thought they were so pretty, and she showed me things that looked like rhinestones. I like telling a story with things that belonged to someone else, and to keep their memory going on. It lets me learn about someone else too. I don't have the money to buy any right now though. But, if someone was just giving them away, I could and would pay postage.

I collect buttons too, I use them as well as mount them in frames to look at. I collect them as I do fabric, and beads!
