I would also like some if your rehoming them.I seen online a pattern for a wreath made from buttons. The one shown was all white. I think a colored one would be beautiful to hang up for year round.Please PM if anyone wants to get rid of buttons. Mary

I have seen framed buttons in various patterns as wall art. They were the Pearl white buttons - stars, hearts, spider type webs. Looked very beautiful.

I picked up a magazine yesterday at Joann's that was filled with craft, gift and decorating ideas using buttons. It is called "Stitch Craft Create" and is the premier issue.

Oh, be careful how easily you get rid of them! I had a fair amount of buttons from my mom collecting them for decades. While she was still alive, they didn't seem overly important, so in a house cleaning fit, I donated most of them to a white elephant auction at my son's school. Now that my mom has passed away I dearly wish I had kept that big ol' jar of memories. Even worse, the buttons auctioned off for a very small amount of money...
