Intersting object. Whoever did this has more time than most people.
That was my thought also. Cheese cloth with stiffiner and threads.

I think this person must have worked at the factory...At $3- $6 for 4-8 of them, I doubt they were bought.
Wow must have had lots of time on their hands. Where oh where did they get all those buttons???

As expensive as buttons are to buy. They have a very valuable sculpture on their hands.

Your grandmother? Hey, I still do that! My mother trained me- she grew up during the war when they had rationing and you couldnt be sure you would be able to source a button when you needed it. She saves zippers too, but I draw the line at that!
