That's a great idea. Thanks for sharing!

I've done this to several blazers to give them a more updated look. I've actually taken off the gold conservative buttons to for a less conservative look.

I have had a button jar for years - just for the purposes you all state. It's fun to try to match up but if not, it's more fun to just do a button make-over. The jar looks great in my house of antiques and rustic comfy.

I have went to used clothing stores and purpose blouses, shirts etc. with different type buttons and used them on some of my clothes. Going to these type of stores you usually find some old and unique buttons. Carrie Rochester, NY

That is a great idea,i would have never thought of anything like that (thanks for the tip).

I like the idea of using more modern buttons rather than buying a new blazer, very smart!

I've done it on two blazers. I actually got the blazers on a big sale, but they had big gold buttons which were a little too classic. I put on funky silver ones and the jackets look much better.

i also have had a button jar for years, when i have to get rid of old shirts i cut the buttons off the shirts put them in the button jar, and cut the shirts up into rags for cleaning.

I've gotten 2 very stylish blazers that way!

That's a great idea! Now I won't stress over a lost button; I'll be excited to add my own touch.

I save buttons from old clothes and my daughter makes interesting craft projects with the buttons

I have a button jar were I always put my extra buttons I get with my clothes in case i would need. I also look for unusal buttons when I shop to updatesome of my jackets or etc.

wonderful!
