I have hundreds of buttons and you ave given me some lovely ideas thank you.⭐️
Every single idea is adorable!
I've saved so many pretty buttons over the years....now I know what to so with them....thank you.💛
Buttons really do add the perfect finishing touch so many times! So fun to see the video and a bit of your collection! Big hugs, Liz! ❤️
Thanks! You are indeed the "Queen" of buttons. I have two large tins (from both my husband's and my side of the family), as well as buttons I have picked up at Joann's, etc.. I really need to spend more time "sorting". I admire your patience... Some good ideas here!
Love me some buttons. My grandmother from Italy was a seamstress. My dad taught me how to sew and my first lesson was buttons. During WWII all 16 kids had to help mom with her alterations business. My mother on the other hand was born “with a gold spoon in her mouth” as the saying goes. So dad had to teach both of us to cook, sew and iron. I fell in love with buttons at a very young age. Love me some buttons. Can’t wait to see your little oasis called your art room! Thanks for sharing Liz!💕💐🧚♂️
Thank you for sharing your story CJ. I know you are proficient in old-school sewing. I only fake sew and quilt lol, around the edges of your art. I'd love to see YOUR craft/sewing area as well. Hugs!! :-)
Ha! I bought buttons today at the Op-shop…because, you know, I million buttons isn’t enough! x
I love buttons. My husband says I have 10000.Thanks for some great ideas.
Such grreat ideas Mrs. Cog!! Thank you for sharing!!
Thank you for sharing! Now I have a reason for buying more buttons!💕
Thank you for the ideas. I like that buttons on your garden gloves make you happy. It’s very important to find those small happinesses in every day. Very! Coincidentally, I just bought 2 zipper bags of buttons on eBay. One is purple buttons, the other yellow. Pre-sorted! I’m rich in buttons. Some day my daughter will be a button heiress. This is when I make that crazy, cackling laughter as I run my fingers thru the buttons. Bwa-ha-ha! 👵🏻
Too funny. I have the same laugh when I run my fingers through buttons. It truly is the little things. :-)
I just received a whole bunch of colorful buttons from my daughter-in-law, who decided she wasn't going to be able to have time to use them (our 2 grandchildren are 3 and 2). So she just brought over her 3 storage sorters and a small container full of buttons to me. I wasn't sure what I was going to be able to use them all for. NOW you've given me some great ideas!!! Thank you so much! These ideas will be a great way to not have the buttons just sit in my stash but be able to come out and be used.
Howdy, Mrs. Cog! Thanks for sharing all your lovely ideas for using buttons in junk journals! Just had to watch... I bought 3 jars and 1 bag of vintage buttons at the Flea Market this week! Blessings & Bubbles...oooOOO
What fun ideas. TFS. Be healthy and stay safe.
Love your use of buttons, great ideas. I am also a button collector. Thank you
Love buttons !! They are such fun !! TFS !!
I've collected buttons for over 40 years and have been thinking about adding some to my journals. I'd really like to see a tutorial on how best to attach a button as a closure on a journal, ie are they sewn onto the covers, hot glued, or how exactly to attach them securely. Another button lover, yay!
I love buttons too. There is something so therapeutic running your fingers through a pile of buttons. I have a cardboard Banker's Archive box full of buttons. I still have a lot to sort through, and I just love doing it, if only I had more time. Soon I hope. Thank you for sharing all your ideas to use buttons, love them. Thanks!
I’m in admiration of your work..it’s so precise, thoughtful , and beautiful. Thank you for sharing .✨
LOVE LOVE LOVE the buttons on gloves idea!!! I'm going to make a few pairs for a few friends as a Fall gift! ❤️ 🌿
I have a ton of modern and vintage buttons. Most of which I picked up at a yard sale. These are great ways for me to use some up!
Buttons are so much fun and I love all the ideas you shared. I recently saw in a video where Jessica Rapp used a button at the bottom of the V on an envelope flap. I'm feeling inspired to use up my hoard of buttons!
Great ideas! A few of your ideas, I never thought, like sewing on a ribbon. Thanks!
I love buttons also, I have been putting them on my paper flowers
Fun ideas for all those buttons!
I was lucky enough to find an add on a local site where a man was selling 25 lbs of vintage buttons that he found in a storage unit. There are some amazing buttons.
Lucky ! I'm jealous!
I need buttons for a quilt I am making please contact me.
Lucky
That patchwork bag is beautiful! You mentioned before your love for buttons. It’s real!!! But you do a good use of them.
Everyone would love to have a jar like the last one. Put your hand inside and pull out a bunch of colorful buttons in all shapes and sizes.
All of my buttons came from discarded clothing. Plus new clothing when extra buttons are included.
A crazy quilter that likes making journals. It's an easy transition.
Mrs. Cog! Thank you for sharing these sweet button ideas! I love your style so much and appreciate you taking the time to share your ideas with us! ❤️ XoXo
I just LOVE buttons! Like you, I have more than I'll ever use, but I'm always on the hunt for a jar of old buttons at a good deal! My favorite idea that you mentioned was sewing buttons onto a ribbon! Brilliant! Then you can attach them in so many more places. Thanks again for the inspiration.
I always enjoy your videos.You have such a kind,pleasent voice!
Aww, thanks so much Kathy. :-)
I have a collection of both of my Grandmother's buttons. Thanks for a few new ideas....especially the button cards! Please, please, please do a tour of your craftroom......would love to see where you create all of your beautiful items and maybe get some storage ideas!!
I love BUTTONS!
I love how you incorporate buttons in your different journal areas. You have a great knack for matching the button colors to what you attach them to and they really add a lot to the overall look. 👍🏻💖
Oo I love um too! I have my gr gr aunts, my gr grams, my husbands gr aunts, collections! And I buy more at flea markets to imprint into clay charms I make. I'm addicted too☺️. I do use them too! My fav are teeny tiny men's shirt buttons from my grandfathers uniforms and my Dads army uniform buttons that his mom had saved. Treasures to me💗. Thanks for the ideas!!
Great ways to use buttons Mrs. C ! Perhaps one day you could cover the entire front of a journal in buttons... a button journal sort of thing... Loved this, thanks for sharing.
Wow thanks for all the great tips. I like buttons too.
Love, love buttons also. Your ideas are so nice. Tfs!!!!🤗🤗
Thanks for sharing your ideas. I really like the idea of stitching buttons to ribbon! I, too, have a love for buttons!
Hi Liz! Thanks for sharing these wonderful ways to use buttons. I am a button collector. Please use caution with the antique/vintage ones. Because the old plastics contain formaldehyde or other chemicals they need careful storage. Mason jars look great but do not allow the buttons to breathe. They will deteriorate and once infected cannot be saved. I still use Mason jars but put tulle over the top secured with a rubber band or a hair elastic. Humidity will cause them to disintegrate, too. Who knew those cute little things require so much care?
Thank you Laura and I appreciate the heads up about button storage, that's great to know and a wonderfully simple solution. Hugs! ❤️
Thank you Mrs.Cog!!! I love buttons too. I have a lot. I try to keep them organized by color. I have a jar of just white! Thanks for all your ideas. I will sure use them in my crafts. Have a
wonderful day! ~Liz~
Oh yeah, love buttons, I was always into my grandmother's buttons. Thank you for the wonderful ideas💡 , loooove those gloves!! 💕
Always love ur use of buttons, I try to use them but find sewing them on so tedious I usually glue them on, thanks for ur inspiration 😻
You would love my mother’s collection of buttons, I was just raiding her huge stash😉
Thank you Margie. I would LOVE to see your mother's collection of buttons. I can only imagine! Hugs! :-)
All great ideas and so lovely. Especially love the jump-ring button charm. TFS. 🤗
Instablaster.
Perfect timing as I just got a hoard of buttons 😍 TFS 😍😇 💕
Great ideas with buttons . I have 3 cookie tins full .
Buttons on tassels as a tassel strand all the way down strand also one or two on every other strand so they make noise when set on table or moved. I love all of your ideas. Buttons are fun and fun to search for.
Fabulous idea, thank you Virginia. :-)
So fun. I have some vintage buttons from my grandmothers button box. As kids we loved to play with the buttons, and that continued into adult hood lol! _ Becky
Very awesome button ideas and love 💕 your button collection!!!
Mrs. Cog, thank you so much for not only sharing your button ideas but also stirring up wonderful memories. I used to sit for hours playing in great grandma's button drawer. First I just let them run through my fingers, then I took turns sorting them by color, size and hole numbers. ❤
Thanks for the video, finally I can use my old buttons that I inherited from my grandmother. As a child I was allowed to play with her button box, which also contained other small things, it was a true treasure box for me as a child. There are many antique beautiful buttons with beautiful images. Now I'm going to use them for my journals. Love from the Netherlands 💜🍀😘
Yay!!! Thank you for sharing these great ideas. I love buttons too. Hugs! 🤗🤗🤗
Enjoy it those amazing Buttons!

I love the look of buttons too it’s very unique thank you so much for sharing I’m going to try some of these ideas

I have to say your journals showing your use of buttons are really beautiful and interesting. I love the fact that everyone's journals are unique and different in their expression which really gives them and endless quality.
some great ideas for buttoning up :) I inherited my gran's button tin as I loved to play in it as a child sorting the colours & Pop started me counting with buttons. I op shopped for buttons when I was claying to use them as stamps into the soft clay and now I will recycle them into journals....thanks for sharing ....I love buttons
So beautiful and inspirational.
Those gloves 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Happy Thanksgiving to you & your family wishing you a blessed day.

Thank you for sharing some very inspiring ideas and ways to use buttons! This reminded me of when I was little and playing "Button Button who's got the button" with my mom and some friends. simpler times back then.... I've glued buttons to paper clips, like you do with pennies. Buttons are the best!
I just love all the different ways you used your buttons. Come next spring I'm going to have some gardening gloves with buttons :) I have oodles of buttons but I'm saving them lol.... not anymore!!
Love using vintage buttons....thanks for the inspiration. TFS
you could make a THICK shaker element and use buttons in it instead of beads or glitter, etc! I LOVE buttons too!
Mrs.cog amazing
Love this. I love buttons too.Thanks for the ideas for how to use them and the links to the other designers. Take care.
What lovely ideas for using buttons! You might like to get buttons by the pound from Home Sew in Bethleham PA. You can order online. Please do show us your button shelf! Thanks!
Great ideas thank you. I have some very old ones from my mother’s collection.
Some great ideas thanks for sharing. Regards Susanna 😊
Your work, your books and go-jo’s, are absolutely breathtaking 😊
I love buttons too and have quite a lot. Thank you for your ideas. ;)
I love this video, I learned a couple new uses for my buttons, and thank you so much for the shout out! I’m glad you Iike your tags. I think they have a Mrs Cogs feel to them! You rock! 💗
Really fun ideas!
I have a black piece of fabric (12 x12) with a backing that my grandmother sewed various buttons on. I just found it in a box yesterday and took it out to hang up in my craft room. There are a few missing so will go thru my stash of old buttons. Got a bunch from my mom plus antique store years ago.
Very interesting ideas, it's fantastic the way you used them in different projects. Thanks for sharing.
I love buttons too - I think we all do? but I don't have nearly as many as you do, lol. Loved your little tour around the button world. Thank you.
Thank you for this button inspiration video!
I too am a button addict, so thank you for the great ideas.
After my own heart! I am a complete button devotee. I can remember when I was a little girl, my mother would let me count all her buttons and I would sit on the floor and admire them =) To this day, I simply can not pass up a great button. I have to stay off of ebay because I would bid on every button I saw =) Great ideas, thank you.
Thank you for all the great ideas!
Great ideas...thank you!💕❤
Truly great ideas. Thank you 😊
Thank you for the ideas. I will definitely try them. Thanks again!
