Bingo Cards, Buttons, & a Junky Little Drawer

Bingo Button Card
I love buttons!  I have had a great button stash for a long time thanks to my mom and my grandmas.  I pinned this bingo card recently from cdiannezweig with a plan to do something like it.


I use buttons for crafting all the time...

I also use buttons in jars as decor all the time.

Sometimes I stick jars of buttons in a suitcase vignette.

I also used red buttons in a heart pan mosaic.

Back to the bingo button cards...

I found Bingo cards like these from the Decadence Emporium on Etsy.  Ten for eight dollars.

I found thin wood rectangles almost the size of the bingo cards at Michael's.  I stained them with walnut stain and brushed them with water based matte poly.

 I sewed buttons on each card.

I brushed on Mod Podge with a foam brush.

Then glued them on each wooden rectangle.  Here is my white button card.

Lag Screw Rusty Drawer www.organizedclutterqueen.blogspot.com
 Then I picked up a rusty little lag screw drawer.

 Cool, rusty, but a little too orange.

So I sanded the orange paint a lot.  Then brushed on some water based poly.  Much better!


A little rusty and fun.

I think my bingo button cards are pretty fun in the lag screw drawer.

  2. Carlene . . . the "button Bingo cards" are the cutest thing!!!! LOVE 'em! I know we are both Minnesotans and I'm thinking the long, cold winters bring out some of the greatest crafters/artisans . . . just a trip to the Minnesota State Fair show how wonderfully creative we all all winter!!!! Looking forward to your creative gardening this summer . . . Marcia

  3. I have a terrible confession - I had hundreds of old buttons and a few years ago, while my hubby was ill and before he passed, I think I lost my mind, I got rid of ALL of them for like $5 at a garage sale...Now I wish I had even a small portion of them back :( Oh well, live and learn!! Your button cards are just too cute! I love how you put them together and your display ideas are great too! Very creative - don't you just love getting ideas from Pinterest? Blessings, Cindy

  5. Carlene, I love buttons and this is such a great way to display them. I can see them hung on a wall as a grouping also! I'm pinning this inspiration!!

  6. I love your bingo car buttons. I have one question. In the sewing vignette--did you make the container that holds the scissors? I love that! Just thought I'd make one if you had made it and you had a tutorial for it.

  7. Yes, I love buttons too, but mine are all stashed in boxes ... love how you are using yours ... great way to have them out to enjoy. Displaying them in the wire basket looks great.

  11. I see this is an old post but wondering how you sew the buttons on the card without it wrinkling or bending?
