Default Buttons

What can you do with buttons? I have tons and tons of them saved in a basket and I have no idea what to do with them. My husband says I am obsessed with collecting them, lol.

My stepmother was a button hoarder too so we never had to worry about finding one that matched our outfit! We also used them for crafts or embellishments on pillows and blankets.

I used multi-colored buttons to decorate my daughters school bag. We also added ribbons, but the buttons and ribbons together were adorable. We always get compliments on it!

You can use two buttons at a time for one button hole if you use one that has the "well" that a small flat button would fit into. Then sew both of them on after you have made your button hole to fit the larger button.

You can really jazz up clothing items just by changing the buttons. Coordinating buttons and ribbon trim strategically placed on a blouse can really work wonders.

How to Make Button Charm Jewelry | LoveToKnow

This is a really cute use for buttons. I have also seen them made into rings and necklaces as well. It is a cheap craft for kids to do for mother;s day and that sort of celebration.
