I found the prettiest buttons ever!

These are some gorgeous 40 year old buttons I've found for around $15 and couldn't be happier.

Used some of the buttons to decorate my tweed jacket

I had this plain tweed jacket in my closet. I never used it. Today I pulled it out and decorated it with buttons and beads. I love it but now I don't know if it's too much. Can I wear it? I love it but i dont wanna end up looking like a clown walking down the street.

I did beading on one sleeve, on the lapel and used buttons on the other sleeve.

Found these and immediately bought them (4200 yen = 26 USD) but...

they're old, over 100 years, *the seller said*, I don't know if it's safe to be used as jewelry. Im thinking keychains or maybe brooches.

She also said they cant be used as buttons so I can't decorate my jackets with them.

I was also thinking about cool retro little bears as keychains but I just cant think of a cool idea really.

I need your help.

Did I make a mistake with my first button shopping?

I just had my first button shopping and I didn't check the pricing I just kept picking them up, and it ended up being almost 100$. I'm new to this whole thing so I was wondering if I made a mistake or if it's worth it?

I was planning to make earrings and decorate my tweed jackets. Would love to know how yall use buttons.
