Does anyone have any good ideas on what to do with buttons? I have many old ones. I was wondering if it would be better to try to sell the buttons or use them for a craft project. Any project ideas?

They would be awesome on a wall hanging or other quilted items :D:D:D
|
I saw an idea on another site in which coloured buttons are sewn to the top of a pin cushion. you can then use the colours to 'sort' your needles into types.
If you have any decorative buttons, then they can be used as decoration! |
i made a queen size quilt of four patch blocks that was reversible. put buttons on both sides in the center of all the four patch blocks.

I love large old buttons made into pins or magnets. I cut the back thingies off.
|
I get the really cute ones and make one of a kind hair clips for my SGD. She loves them. She has ballerinas ,fairy, bunnies, bears and Pom Pom spiders for Halloween. The sky is the limit.

USE them embellishment!!! they are wonderful, some are so beautiful.... I have some buttons that were on my grandmothers wedding dress, circa 1918....they are really special, haven't found the perfect project for them but I will!

I've seen them used in wall hanging crafts and framed crafts.
|
I just sewed 3 buttons on top of each other to make a closure for the bag in my avatar. I have 3 cake tins full of buttons but don't use them often.

I've used them for "tying" a quilt. Just sew the button on the front and either sew through the layers of the quilt or add another one on the back to match.
