Keep a Button Jar

Never throw away buttons, when you discard old clothing. I cut them off and store them in a container. I use them in may crafts and you never know when a button on a shirt will need replaced. My button jar has saved me time and money!

I also cut off good buttons before donated clothing to Goodwill. You can replace cheap/ugly buttons on items in your existing wardrobe and make them look richer and of better quality then they were when you bought them. (04/27/2005)

I too have a jar of buttons that I have been adding buttons for years. I originally started saving them in an old glass canning jar to put on my kitchen cupboard. They come in very handy when I am looking for an odd button. (10/08/2008)

I have buttons from my grandmother, born in 1901, and my mother, born in 1928. And then, I have my own. I was born in 1951 and remember loving to look through my grandmothers button basket.

To me they were jewels. I had so much fun looking at the buttons and matching them up. I have several jars and tins of buttons. I still love looking through them.
