You know those little plastic bags of buttons and string

[lost-in-nj]

and rhinestones etc. you sometimes get when you buy new clothes ??
Do you keep them? throw them away?

my dresser top is filled with them. I probably don't have half the clothes anymore to match the bags...

just curious

1. Yes, I have a large collection of them, also.

2. I started throwing them away

I've never sewn on a missing bead, rhinestone or button in my life so I decided to throw away the collection. I kept some for so long I couldn't determine what garment it came with.

3. If you know someone who does crafts

a scrapbooker, or card maker or really any kinds of crafts, ask them if they would have a use for them !

Maybe you could go over to the crafts discussion group and see what they could be used for. I'll bet somebody would be glad to get them.

7. I keep them.

On no occasion have I ever made use of even one button but you never know!

8. I have tons of them. I need a hobby where I can make something with them.

9. I keep them, too.

I store them in a large tin. I have a lot of embellished sweaters, so I actually dig through them every now and then.

10. I have an old shoe box for them

Never thought I'd ever use it but lo and behold I snagged a 15 yr old sweater, had the string, and socko - good as new (except for the smallest little dimple where I sewed it)
