Not sure how this button bowl would hold up to actual usage but isn't it cute.  Makes me wonder, how about a light fixture shade?  That would cast some great shadows.

Love these.  Making journals at the moment and these would be great additions.  I've also seen them add buttons to bobby pins as well.

Now that's just cute, saw combinations with wine corks and bottle caps as well.  So creative.

bonkers about buttons
Just adorable.  Mom and I used to attend the quilt show in Padukah, KY and one time there was a chair, all decked out with buttons in one of the shop areas.  It was great!  What about a backsplash, tabletop, etc.  So many ideas, I need lots and lots of buttons.

Cute.

Doubt I'll ever do this but it is kind of cute.  You could also do a more traditional planter.
