Vintage Buttons in Bulk

Great lens, I use vintage buttons in most of my designs, thank you for the great pointers to find new buttons to purchase.

@belinhafernandes: Lucky you!!! I wish a had a mother with that kind of collection. If you want to get rid of it... let me know... ;)

It's really disturbing when the things people refer to as "vintage" are the things you bought and still use.

My mom used to have a great collection of vintage buttons. I wonder where it went?????

I love to find vintage buttons at flea markets and garage sale, Thanks for sharing you have some lovely photos of vintage buttons.

Is there a big market for vintage buttons? Great lens!

Gorgeous buttons! I got a lot of buttons from my mother because she used to be a fashion maker. Many were lost because I and my sister used to play with the bigger ones. Some are really big!Congrats on this lens! I Liked it!

I love vintage (pretty much anything vintage).

A new and unique topic. Nice lens :)

I love vintage buttons! Didn't know that about testing with 409 to see if they are genuine. Will definitely keep that in mind. :)

Wonderful lens - very useful and informative. Blessed :)

There are two things I am drawn to in vintage shops: bowls of vintage buttons and bowls of vintage watch parts. What an awesome lens!

Great collection of vintage buttons. I have something to show you all, just wait. Blessed!

This is a gorgeous lens. Thanks for the 'eye candy'!

I have a button jar that was started by my late mother....I have not used any of them for crafting (isn't my thing I guess), but just having that button jar and seeing all those different shapes, sizes and colors brings her back to me. I really like this lens. Blessed by a squidAngel.

I love collecting buttons. I'll use them for anything and everything!

Looking at these buttons makes me think what life might have been like during those times. Interesting niche and really cool buttons!

Returning to refresh the blessing on this fun page to find vintage buttons. I love sorting through buttons and enjoy looking at your delightful pictures here.

Cool lens! I can't help but click over to squidoo when searching for something and I see that one of my results in a lens.

What a neat idea! I've seen some craft projects using buttons but haven't tried them myself.

I starting to think I have a problem, I seem to collect or have so many things that people collect...the many buttons are from years ago and clothing that I wore and did not have the heart to throw out beautiful buttons. Funny when I was young I had an aversion to buttons in a jar, I have no idea why, but have gotten over it. I have used buttons in making jewelry.

Nice collection of buttons here, and a nicely done lens.

I love vintage buttons with deep, intricate carvings - I make molds of them to use with polymer clay and metal clay. Great lens!

I do have a vintage button collection, though, it only consists of about 20 buttons. I love the rhinestone buttons best. Thanks for providing a great resource to buy vintage buttons. Blessings**

These vintage buttons are amazing - I did not know that ebay had so many vintage button auctions! Thankyou for the advice about identifying bakelite buttons, I didn't know there were (simple) tests for bakelite and it's great to know there are. Thanks for sharing.

Very nice lens.

Very cool - I love vintage items! :)

I adore vintage buttons!

I loved this Lens. I collect any and all kinds of buttons. to show how much I collect them, anything no longer wearable from this house is button-less!

Actually, I do have a couple of sewing kits with buttons that I've collected over the years. Usually I check my collection first when I need a button -- and sometimes I find I replace the buttons with something that has to be vintage. Love the vintage button crafts.

Stopping by to enjoy your vintage button collections once again, its like finding treasures in grandma's attic!

I love vintage buttons. There used to be a buttons shop at The Rocks in Sydney, Australia. I could never figure out how a shop selling nothing but buttons could pay the highest retail rent in Australia.

My grandma collected buttons all her life and I inherited them. They are amazing. I love crafting with them.

Such pretty buttons. I have a bunch from my grandmother. They are still boxed up from her estate, but I remember going through them before.

Wow, I've never really thought about antique buttons that much so this is a new adventure. Thumbs up and angel blessed.

I've actually got a five gallon water bottle that is full of buttons that my family has saved over the years, but I have no idea what they might be worth.

i never knew that you can use buttons in so many different ways. thanks

great lens!

I don't use vintage buttons in my crafting, but always enjoyed my grandmother's 'button box' and have a bunch myself (probably not vintage -- just old, assorted, buttons) :-). Good advice here for vintage button collectors.

PS: My brother in law inherited HIS grandmother's button collection, which IS quite valuable (he says). I've never seen it, so I don't have any information on what makes it valuable.

I do a couple of crafty things with vintage buttons but I'm not sure what my overall attraction is to them. Perhaps it's because grandma always had jars of buttons or perhaps it's because they are so arty, but I have a real fascination with them.

i like different buttons on my hat

I inherited my grandmother's vintage button collection. Hopefully one day I'll have time to incorporate them in a craft project.

Such a pretty page! The vintage buttons pictures are very attractive. i love your craft ideas :)

My Grandma from Belgium was a seamstress and had a big tin box full of buttons. I would love to go in there as a little kid and it seemed that the button collection grew over time...I liked the ones that looked like jewels...it was a fun way to spend a day when it was raining.

I don't use buttons for projects but your vintage buttons may give me some new ideas, I understand they are gaining in popularity due to their uniqueness. I enjoyed your vintage button gallery and watched for 3 rotations and saw some that seemed familiar from when I was little. Another great idea Katie!

Nice lens! These vintage buttons are really cute.

Some of them are really good, I personally like the button that looks like an Oreo.
