Buttons always come in handy for me when im crafting, but some shops are quite expensive for buttons, especially when you want to buy a few. Ive found the best thing to do is to start your own button collection. Save all the spare buttons that come with new clothes and pop them in a button box. Another fantastic way of collecting up buttons is to have a good hunt in charity shops, I got all these buttons in the picture above for around 50p because they were in packs for 10p each. Sometimes you can end up with some really funky vintage buttons. I will put up some posts that show different ways in which you can use buttons in your crafting.
i've used buttons myself for various things, birthday cards for example. A top tip is to ask friends and family to save unwanted buttons and beads
