Burlap and Vintage Buttons
My mom gave me a basket of vintage buttons she bought at an auction. She had do idea what to do with them. I came up with a few ideas. I made burlap flowers, used the vintage buttons as the middles glued them onto a burlap ribbon. I then had a few glass jars laying around that I spray painted with chalkboard paint and then glued the burlap flowers and ribbon ton them for a touch of vintage cute. I also used a burlap flower I had made and vintage buttons on a picture frame that I was going to get rid of. I'd love to make jewelry with the burlap and buttons as well. These are a few great ways to use that rustic material in a beautiful and vintage inspired way.

Those are great ideas and the buttons are to die for. I'm not sure but they look like old jet buttons used on funeral clothes. If that's the case some of those buttons could be worth a nice chunk of money...
