I’m glad you’re making some fun things with those precious finds. I have a book that is right up your alley called Beads and Buttons, Ribbons and Felt. By schneebeli-morrell. Its fascinating what can be done with buttons.

I have used vintage buttons in my jewelry for a while now. Lay them all out and let your imagination swim. I made a bracelet with buttons on stretchy cord, cord through the shank, tie a knot pile them on and tie a closing knot…a neat stretchy bracelet with mom’s old buttons.

I organized it many years ago. There are some wonderful buttons in there. I have used some, but always make sure to take the buttons off when I get rid of the garment. I’m 62!, so some of the buttons are about 100 years old.
