I’ve been thinking about how to display some of my vintage buttons and decided to use embroidery hoops for frames. I grouped the buttons into color categories.
Brown buttons on grey flannel
White and cream buttons on beige feed sack cloth
Green buttons on white cotton



Each button is so unique and I love the detail on them.
Now my vintage buttons can be displayed and enjoyed instead of being tucked away.

Carolyn, these look so sweet! And I have to tell you, as I was reading this, I started thinking that it might be cute to use a heart-shaped chocolates box for pink or red buttons? I happen to have a box and nothing slated for it yet...perhaps could give it a try after I get back from Round Top with a fresh scoop of buttons. Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteThis is REALLY sweet! Fabulous job!
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up to Making It With Allie! I can't wait to see what you have for next week!
