Nice. Do you have any photos you can share? Unfortunately I can't crochet anymore due to arthritis in the base of my thumbs. I used to love it.

You could always go to the goodwill in your area. When they are changing seasonal clothing I believe they mark their clothing down and you could probably purchase them cheaper than buying new buttons in a store.

I just came across a site it is www.buttonsgalore.com
not sure what they have just came acrossed it.

I look for buttons at thrift and goodwill stores, also yard sales. Presently I'm making an "altered book" called How To Sew On A Button. It's for my son. I have a few photos to add to pages on sewing on a button, also a bit of history on buttons and then things that pertain to buttons in general. Example: belly button, I have a photo of a tomato that looks like it has a belly button. My sister gave me buttons that she made by cutting deer antlers, those are neat.

Homesew.com has alot of buttons.

Buttons. Buttons. I like buttons. LOL. I watch for them on clearance racks; use coupons for discounts; watch the local thrift stores,yard sales, etc. Bag sales at the thrift stores can be a good source as long as the bag price is reasonable. I've brought home many a $1 and $2 bags full of clothes with neat buttons on them. You'd be surprised how much you can stuff in a bag - especially if you roll things up. The clothes can also be taken apart and used as fabric, trims, rags, etc.

just a sob story.........2 years ago our home was vandalized. the room that makes me the most sad is my sewing room, I did not have a button, thread, needle, sewing machine,nor any stash left.I know what you mean about needing buttons.......................... and anything else that we quilters need. little by little I am starting over ,,, but will never ever get back the memories in my button boxes..........Jacie

Try Salvation Army and Goodwill.

Just Google buttons and you you will find all kinds of sites for buttons for crafts and such.

I remember going through my grandmother's buttons. I still have some that look like horse shoes.
