I love buttons. If you’re like me, you have thousands of buttons that just sit in your craft area and you never know how to use them! I seriously have a whole shelf of mason jars full of buttons. Recently I decided that it was time to put them to use. Today I’ve rounded up 18 different DIY tutorials that incorporate buttons. A lot of the projects that I’m featuring today will use up a lot of your button stash. If you’re a daily coffee drinker, I would recommend checking out #16. The Fabric Coffee Sleeve is going to be your best friend and it shares a unique way to use buttons.
I believe my favorite DIY button craft is #11 which is the Giant Button Garland from Little Red Window! I love how easy the tutorial is and I think this would look awesome in my craft room.

Thanks for sharing my button project!
Thanks for including my shabby heart pillow! I heart buttons! 🙂
I came thinking these were pins rather than buttons, but found myself checking out the coffee sleeve project. Nice work!
hi any one have any old plastic canvas books hanging around collecting dust email me grandmajuri(at)gmail(dot)com
I am like you! I have more buttons than I know what to do with. I particularly love the gift wrap, earrings, and bracelet ideas. The garland is a great project for a craft room, too.
