I just posted this reply in another question. Here are some ideas for you…

You could replace older buttons in jackets, shirts,  
pillowcases, cushions…glue them to jar tops, sew them on older cushions,  
fabric containers, hats, belts or other textiles…or keep some in jars/glass  
containers as decor…lots of fun projects…

I’ve seen some pretty artwork made with buttons used as highlights, such as berries or flowers on trees, hearts made from buttons, rainbows of buttons… all sorts of fun ideas. How about it?
