"Fall in Love With Buttons" Swap



I recently participated in a button swap sponsored by the Button Floozies blog.  We each had to cover an Altoid mints tin and fill it with at least 40 buttons.  I received my box last week and want to share pictures with you.  My partner, Lynette, lives in Texas and is a retired elementary school art teacher.  When I opened my package I could see her artistic talent!

 


Lynette gave me some ideas on how I could improve my box the next time I participate.  Using buttons as little feet is such a great idea.

 
I placed my box on my desk next to my bed and look at it often.  Thanks, Lynette!

  2. The title of this post leaped out at me this morning because I have been collecting buttons for decades. I keep them in antique jars and let my children and grandchildren play with them. I taught them how to count, learn their colors and develop their sequencing skills with buttons. But they never knew they were learning, they just thought it was a game. And it kept them quietly busy for hours :) Now you've given me an idea for using the buttons in a new, creative way - love it!
