r/buttoncollecting

I used bubble wrap and construction paper behind the buttons to keep them in place

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.

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.

I work at a up cycle craft store, and this is a pretty standard day. I’ll get probably four or five jars of buttons like this. I don’t know anything about buttons, but we have a button lady, her name is Julie and I adore her. She’s an older lady who volunteers and comes in and sorts our buttons and tells us these might be worth something. These are pretty standard occasionally she buys a button to as well.

Which one is your favorite??

My friend gifted me this button that they found at a flea market. any idea if it has any significance?

My local chain craft store is having a sale, and I had a rummage through the button bin. 50 cents a card, much cheaper than usual here!

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.

Second time button shopping

I want to make some earrings, brooches, or weird plushies

I also want to decorate my jackets and jeans (maybe also my bag)
