buttons for Christmas

It's early - or maybe never too early - but thought i'd share this use of buttons for a Christmas project. These came from the button box that belonged to my DH grandma Minnie. When our daughter remarried, her new husband needed a stocking (everyone has one i've made). He is a sentimental guy, so i thought he would appreciate having Minnie's buttons on his stocking.
So...for those of you with button collections...here's just one idea for using them. [ATTACH=CONFIG]480985[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]480986[/ATTACH]

I really like your stocking, but not the button wreath, Too Much for me. I guess I'm what you would call PLAIN...Thanks for sharing with us. I plan on using your idea of decorating the sock with ribbon, fabric & button.
