I got a call today from my friend L - she was very excited on the other end of the phone, even catching her breath. "I just had to call you because I knew you'd understand!" I had no idea where this call was going to lead. "I just left the thrift store near me and I was looking through the buttons to make some little button wreaths for the kid's teachers." Ahh...thrift store...buttons. "The owner asked if I wanted to go in back and look at the buttons they had back there. They were color sorted and in jars! We must go back and get them!" Yes, we must!
I have a good collection of buttons...but sometimes I'm afraid to use them. What if I can't find more? What if the thrift store prices for buttons keep going up? What if I can't find any in bulk anymore? What if? What if?
Well, no more what if. I've got a fresh supply waiting...which means I'm ready to use some buttons! I've scoured the internet and found my favorite 21 projects to use as inspiration. Ready...set...go!
