Things You Can Do with Buttons - Ideas #1 & 2

I make buttons....lots of them. I am always trying to think of things to do with them, so I can sell them, & give people ideas on how to use them. I also want to keep on making them (I love making button). I am going to keep a running list of button ideas that I or other people come up with. If you have any ideas please tell me.

Button Idea #1 - Start a button collection.

Buttons are the best! Well...I think so. They are some of the best things to collect because they don't take up too much room (I have a small house so space is limited) & they come in so many different colors & styles so there is something for everyone.

Button Idea #2 - Add to a bag or purse. 

Adding a button or two will surely add some spice & pizzazz to your handmade or store bought bag. Here is a fabulous example from one of my favorite etsy shops, Camilla Cotton. She added one of my rustic brown Mr. Owl buttons to one of her famous Romantic Ruffled Bags.
