22 Button Jar Decorating & Crafting Ideas
February 13, 2024
My mom and both of my grandmas were button collectors. Besides inheriting some of their buttons, I have purchased my own cards and jars of buttons.
Over the last 10+ years, I have used buttons for both decorating and crafting. Take a look.

I love using button jars in my "use what you have vignettes". Although utilitarian, jars full of buttons are eye pleasing and interesting when used as decor.
