How many do you have, and what style are they - center hole, or shank?
Many of the ideas that require glueing buttons on to a flat surface work for center hole buttons only, not shank buttons.

I saw someone made a "Christmas Tree" out of some. They were attached to a form and it was beautiful. You could also do a wreath.
If they are vintage, put them on display in a shadow box. I have some of my Grandmother's buttons I am doing this with. I have a sewing room and have old patterns, crochet books, etc. as decor
You can glue to a backing and frame them!
