For the Love of Buttons

Ceramic button by Dottery Pottery

Just a quick post showcasing some of the interesting, quirky, and colourful buttons that I used to replace the boring ones on my coats, cardigans, and other clothes. How about you: do you embellish or alter your clothes? Feel free to share.

    Lovely buttons. I used to work with someone who would often taken button off garments, and sew them back with the reverse showing, as she thought they often looked better that way.

    Oh I love buttons, you can do so much with them. Meeting up with an old work colleague later in the month and she has a box of saved vintage buttons for me, cannot wait

    Oh my! It never occurred to me to change the buttons on things! Such a fantastic idea! I now need to go and cut the buttons off everything and change them! Fab idea xx

    These changes are really simple but stunning. I've been hoarding buttons for a craft project, but suddenly see a lot of possibilities in my stash.

    I LOVE buttons, and often swap out the boring ones on clothes. I especially like a cardie with a mix of different ones like you have done here. When I was little my Nan always seemed to have lovely buttons on her coats (maybe a 60's/70's fashion thing I don't know) and big fab buttons on a coat always make me think of her.
