I am a button person as well. I lived with my grandmother untill I was 9 when she passed. The local tv station would have Bingo and you could play along. So each day at noon I would help get her large tin of buttons down and setup our cards, the buttons was used to mark our bingo cards. I don't remember if we ever won, it was our special time. So each time I get my button's out, I am reminded of my sweet granny
OMG!! THE WAY-OUTS!! HAHAHAHA 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 you are a riot!!! Yes....I am a button hoarder...nice tip here. I think I’ve been using those round pliers wrong all along....ty for the “class” today. You rock!
Hi Pam, You can also turn the buttons into flowers by stacking the buttons, largest on the bottom to smallest on the top. If you put them on taller wires, you can place them in old salt and pepper shakers to make a bouquet. Love them as dangles added to the spine jewelry, very aforable! Buttons are so wonderfully versatile. I have quite the collection stored in vintage glassware...gumball machine, butter churns, milk bottles. Love to pull them out for the grandkids to play with. Thank you for the new idea. Definitely will use this to add to my journals.
How ironic that this video popped up after I was watching another creator showing this technique in your honour. I am the queen of buttons here. 🤣🤣 I cant let them go off old clothing and such. TFS Pam . 🦋🙏💜👍🏻🤗
Good morning Pam! Awesome! I have sooo many buttons as well lol love using them in many projects now here is another way!! Yay! Another great one! Hope you and your family are well, have a very blessed day 🌹❤️
So cute! I am a button junky and have been hoarding them for years and removing them from everything I can. Now I have something to do with them. Great idea!
Thanks for all your creative ideas and funny, friendly personality!!!! You bring a smile to my face and creativity to my spirit!!!! I have such a hard time making loops....it looks so easy watching it on UA-cam. So I broke down and bought a looper tool! So much easier!
I Have a thing for buttons. I have buttons and then more buttons love them and I love your video will try this with my grand daughter who also loves buttons she is 5 years old. Thank you
Thank you Pam for awakening a truly special memory.. My great (Yes I spelled it right) grandma had one of these on her keychain. After her passing Grandma used it. I don’t know where it ended up But I surely need to make one for myself 😂
I inherited my grandmother’s “button box,” which had belonged to her great grandfather. It is a small tin bucket with a lid. It has buttons from his time all the way through to me. I need to get it out and use them! Thanks for giving me an idea of how to use them!
I have quite a few buttons with the shanks that came in a bag full from thrift store. Now I know what to do with them, rather than cutting them off. Thanks for the idea...very clever🌹
Hi Pam. I hope all is well with you... I love the idea and I have been collecting BUTTON BUTTON BUTTONS for years. A couple months ago I made real sweet SPINE JEWELRY for all my pull chain lamps... So sweet* They make me happy and we are suppose to SURROUND OURSELVES WITH WHAT WE LOVE*** LOVE FROM ME IN IDAHO***
Hi Pam what a lovely way to display your button collection, l will be making some of these, l have quite a few buttons to play with, tfs lovely lady stay safe and take care too, huge hugs x Julie 🇬🇧
You are so awesome! You can read minds from thousands of miles away...lol I live in Michigan and yesterday stared at this jar of shank buttons. Honestly my hands are starting to give me issues when cutting the shank. Thank You again 😊😁😆
Love these!! I now need to find my jar... oh... it’s a 3 gallon jar full....I should be able to find it... hmmmm!!!! Thank you, Pam!! Not only for the use for journals,, but I now have something to keep my granddaughters busy with while this madness is going on!!❤️❤️❤️
Sooooooo cute! Love them! I need to get more buttons. (Any excuse) I have my grandmothers sewing ‘tin’ but I can’t bring myself to use those beautiful buttons. My random button jar is more ‘ugly’ buttons. So..... hmmmmm. Anyway, love what you’ve done there and off to play! Thank you for sharing!❤️
Fantastic Theresa!!! :) Not sure if you saw these related button videos but since you mentioned ugly buttons!! ... How to Make Ugly Buttons Pretty!: ua-cam.com/video/e8Dxl9-seA4/v-deo.html and Easy Book Page Buttons! ua-cam.com/video/sg7BeRgzXic/v-deo.html
I LOVE BUTTONS! I've also used shank buttons to make bracelets. Sew them randomly onto a piece of 1/2" elastic overlapping. Thanks for all the fun ideas!!
Hello Pam! I've made these myself before! I'm a jewelry upcycler at heart, but love paper crafting too! Fun video, I love old buttons. Oh the stories they could tell! 😊❤🌻
That's fascinating Gretchen! I think we are kindred spirits! My first official business as a teen was a handmade jewelry biz and today I still love to create things with broken jewelry :) Happy crafting! :)
All the comments about button "collections" makes me wonder how people came by their "collections". I have a "collection" of 50 vintage sewing machines and most came with a bunch of buttons. All sorted by color (as if that matters lol) but never had a use for the shank ones. Now, I have ideas! Thanks!
What a great idea, Pam. I just love this. I love how you twist the end, too. I Love the jingle of the buttons. I know what I will be doing tonight. I enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing. ❤️😘🤗
Wow, what a great idea, I inherited my nana's collection of buttons as she was a dress maker & had buttons for everything. I never knew what to do with them, but I know now 😂
Now that's one thing I have loads of - buttons!! x

They're useful in jewelry making, too. Shank button on one end and knotted loop on the other to fasten bracelets and necklaces.
Hurray! Happy to help! :) That is an impressive sewing machine collection! Wow! :)
Great idea! TFS! :)
A perfect project for me, thank you Pam!!!
Wayouts!! The twitch! All in that hipster town, Bedrock! Love it!
I'm a Flintstone fan, myself!
