So many decorative things! Use a hot glue gun to adhere them to a vase or other container to add some whimsy.
Cover a picture frame with buttons.
Glue them to magnets to add color to the fridge or other surface.
Use them on clothes to add a flair.
So many awesome ideas at your fingertips.

  Thank you so much. As I live in South Africa can I ask what type of glue did you use, so that I can perhaps find the equivalent here.

  Oh how neat! I used a hot glue gun. :) Just a small amount on the edges so that none of the glue came through the center holes. I still have some that I made probably 10 years ago! They held up great. :)
