Sheila, In the past, I have had some dress jackets that had extremely large buttons (even bigger than the ones you shared) which I loved. I hope you can find a use for them. If not, I'm sure some other crafter might like to have them. Thans for sharing. All those buttons spread out make a very pretty photo. :)

I have this same problem with all the buttons I’ve “collected” at shops. Almost better off buying a single set of them when you need them. The brown cardi came out beautiful.

Hi Sheila at least you got a few what match when I sent for my tub what a waste of money there isn’t two that match lol and like yours they are so tiny I am not sure but will check I think there is 500 in the tub. When I got in touch they said send them unopened well that was daft how could I see what was in the tub without it being unopened so like you no use at all. Never mind you live and learn 😂. Have you been to your granddaughter hope you had a relaxing time and enjoyed your lunch . New potatoes, chicken and mushy peas tonight then it will be knitting 🧶 time. Still pouring down here and now it’s only 5 45 and pitch dark . Hope you are safely home now curtains closed feet up and knitting 🧶 lol Sandra xx

Didn't get to Cheryl's today Sandra, she phoned me to tell me she wouldn't be in was going to a gender reveal party today, glad we didn't have those rediculous things in our day, i would have been very disapointed twice knowing i wasn't going to have a girl long before the birth lol..i know those packs of buttons is just a way to get rid of their crap what no-one wants, won't make that mistake again..it's 7.00pm now and sitting with my knitting..🤗

Sheila. They are such lovely colours. As someone mentioned you could decorate bags or even jumpers with them. A display of different shades of pink at the top front of a jumper would be lovely. Or you could mix and match the colours to your liking. Also on some cardigans you could use the different shades of pink in graduation down the cardigan as the proper buttons. It would be like that wool that changes colour gradually. The sky's the limit really. I've seen designer shirts that have completely different colours of buttons on them. I think it would work quite well with children's cardigans. Take care

[@sheilasknittingtipsandothe3191]

I will find a use for them Senga..🤗

[@Distinctivelyhandcrafted]

Hi Sheila! That is a lovely collection of buttons. If you did cowls or hats, you could attach the single buttons as a decoration🤷🏽‍♀. 🤗🥰

[@sheilasknittingtipsandothe3191]

Now that's an idea Pricilla..🤗

[@lesleywigham1362]

Oh dear I think they are craft buttons. You could always buy some polystyrene balls or Christmas trees and decorate them Sheila

[@sheilasknittingtipsandothe3191]

Can't do anything else with most of them Lesley..🤗

@@sheilasknittingtipsandothe3191 I once bought a mixed tub of buttons like you think I threw them out

[@paularoberts2129]

Lovely buttons just put all different on the garments makes them look more modern I think that’s what I do xx

[@sheilasknittingtipsandothe3191]

might end up doing that Paula only way to use them..

[@paularoberts2129]

Yes honestly I would Buttons have gone so expensive but those bag’s I find are reasonable They look so nice I think xx

[@melissawright3491]

If they're not too expensive, could you buy another package or two and combine like buttons from the multiple packs?

[@sheilasknittingtipsandothe3191]

Can't guarantee the buttons are all the same in all the packs Melissa, i'll just stick to buying the colours i need ..

[@melissawright3491]

@@sheilasknittingtipsandothe3191 Yeah, too much of a gamble! I love watching you knit and listening to your chats!
