Spare buttons

catbus

Random question and poll alert lol.

I’ve just been standing in the bathroom pondering what to do with yet another spare button, you know the ones they attach to the price tag of new clothes, in a little zip lock bag for the cheapies, or a nice cardboard pouch for the fancy items? Because I’ve just realised I have diligently saved all the spare buttons for forever, but I’ve never ever used one!

So… do you keep them? Or are you a bit of a daredevil and chuck them out, not caring about the day where you realise you’ve lost a button and don’t have a matching spare…

Is the poll working? I got an error message.

I already have a massive button collection, what’s another one? 😬

Looks like there is an issue with the plugin. I’ll let you know when it’s rectified and you can restart your poll.

Oh no! My useless poll isn’t working! I got an error message too. Not sure what’s happened there!

I have a massive button collection too. I remember using some many years ago for craft with the kids, but they’re teenagers now, so I don’t think that’s an option anymore lol

Keep them, although I’ve practically never used them.

I have a box full of various buttons. One of these centuries I need to go through it and get rid of the buttons where I don’t own the matching clothing anymore.

Keep em. For some reason they are all stored in one of those baby formula dispensers, like this:

We keep em and I have a heap. I will donate them to a kinder when I finally get around to the clean out I keep threatening to do.

MizHops

Keep them. Have never actually ever used one but yet I still carefully stash each new one into the button stash spot.

Woohoo

I keep them, occasionally I need to replace a button on something and use one from the stash. It’s never on the garment the original button was intended for though.

Buttons must be kept.

Think I’ve reached the manic phase of lock down. I’m imaging all the button sewn onto a quilt or something as an artwork that speaks about something…

It will compliment my obligatory Bromley.

(Not really… I don’t have a Bromley)

Eta. Anyone else struggle with the autocorrect on here? No, just me.

Is there an autocorrect here? I haven’t had it try to do anything to my messages yet.
