When my sweet mother in love moved at Christmas, I got a gallon size ziploc bag of buttons!
These originally belonged to my FILs mother. I could spend days looking at these!
Aren’t they fun?
I’d love to come up with a way to display them.
Let me know if you gave any ideas.
Have a great day!

Hi Katy! I’m a button collector so I thought I’d share some ideas of things I’ve made with my buttons! Button Bouquets – I usually make them for people who gift me buttons. I use some of them to make the Bouquets and give them back to them as a gift. I try to use vintage or antique salt/pepper shakers.

My picture taking isn’t the greatest – but hopefully you get the idea. I really enjoy your posts. They are fun and inspirational! Keep up the good work.

That is a really good point. Maybe I just need a cool bowl or something to put them in.
Interesting. I’ll have to look that up!
I had a go at making a button bowl. Mine failed spectacularly because I used the wrong glue. You need a really good clear drying and fast drying glue
Rosa Blue on IG makes cute button necklaces. If I can find her tutorial, I’ll send it to you! Don’t you wish those buttons could tell you their story?
i have some of the same buttons from my mother and my grandmother’s sewing boxes! I’ve never found a good way to display them, although at this point I wouldn’t because my 5 year old granddaughter loves to play with them as did her mother before her. She sorts them, makes up stories about where they’ve been and we’ve made button wreaths with them. Such fun!
Awesome collection….and such a history of where they came from! I recognize a few that I have in my collection. Most often they have come from sewing baskets I bought at auctions or in antique stores in Upstate NY. I try to incorporate them in my finished cross stitches. Or just look at them in awe…the details!!
