Button Love

One of my absolute favorite crafting materials is the button. I guess you could say I'm a collector. I have jars and jars of buttons and a whole drawer in my craft room devoted to vintage buttons still on their cards. I'm not picky either, when it comes to buttons. I love them all -from the elegant and vintage to the bright and kitschy plastic type.
A few years ago I purchased a button jewelry kit from Sew Bettie and I've been mad for stacked button jewelry every since. It's so fun to play with the different colors and styles.

More buttony goodness after the jump.

What do you like to do with your button collection? Crafts? Or do you just display and hoard?
