What to do with buttons

[DevilChild]

Well, I bought a length of fabric and hung it on my wall, and attached everything to that. It's way better than a poster for wall decoration, and every time I see it I have an amazing desire to go find a bandsaw.

I've seen some people put it all over their "competition backpacks". They look pretty stylin'.

I personally just keep them all in shoeboxes...several shoeboxes. lol They pile up quickly.

People should post pic of their button paraphernalia like wall displays or backpacks

1. cover a throw pillow top with them
2. cover a lampshade with them
3. make a large shape out of cardboard and cover it with buttons. A peace sign would look cool about 4' tall by 3' wide....

All 2005 Galileo Teams are represented here on this banner.

We were tired, but not ready to go to sleep. Need I say more? Atlanta 05'

*Edit*
Big thanks to Nick from our team for collecting all of those buttons!! He is the one to the far right who is holding the edge of the banner.

Occassionally I wear them to school and last year I put them all on a 5' long ribbon. There was barely enough room for them all!

Usually I give them to my little sister to try and get her interested in FIRST so when she hits high school she will do it, but after seeing that Cougar banner, I have been inspired to try and make a ginormous outline of a CircuitRunner and write our name and team number below it, all out of buttons.

My first year in FIRST, I collected tons of buttons. I quickly realized that I didn't know what to do with any of them. I put most of the buttons from that first year in a box, and resolved not to accumulate any more buttons Now I only collect ones from teams I have a good relationship with, or ones that get handed to me in the pits. It's amazing how many you get without even trying. Those ones I give to my younger brother, who actually goes out and collects buttons, unlike me.
