What to do with buttons

I have TONS of buttons from the 5 competitions that I have been to and nowhere to put them. Right now most of them are residing on my bulletin board but I have seen what will happen if they stay on there long-term (it's not pretty). Anybody have ideas for what to do with them all?

Re: What to do with buttons

Try getting a piece of fabric and pinning them all to that and hanging it up, or even wear it as I've seen some people do. Right now, mine are all in a bag. =/

Re: What to do with buttons

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.

Re: What to do with buttons

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.

Re: What to do with buttons

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....

Re: What to do with buttons



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.

Re: What to do with buttons

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!

Re: What to do with buttons

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.
