Some how, I've cultivated a small collection of vintage buttons. Geee, I wonder how that happened??? The other day I decided to snag an old printer tray from Sgt and try to organize them a bit better. I ran out of room in the tray and still have a tin of buttons yet to go through. Not all the buttons are bakelite, but they are all old! Now, what to do with all these buttons? Perhaps a little inspiration is in order!
Buttons aren't just for sewing anymore!

ReplyDeleteThose ideas (all of them) are so fab. I have a ton of buttons too. They remind me of my grandma's house- we used to dump out her mason jars full of buttons onto a tray and just sort them endlessly. (Hey, I'm easily amused, and that was in the days before the internet...;)
ReplyDeleteohhh, I preferred the pink background ;)
ReplyDeleteLovely and fun! (The items in the upper left compartment are belt buckles though .. . )
