Wood Buttons- 100 pieces for $4.99 On Ebay

The easiest way to beautify your existing kids clothing is to simply add trim, buttons or other fun accessories to it. Who says you have to have just one row of buttons, when you can have several rows of buttons on an outfit?

When you can buy buttons in lots of 100 for such a low price, how do you possibly use up all those buttons? Here are some ideas……

Some of these sets I have posted below come in collections of buttons featuring different patterns. So above you can see a sea collection with some buttons which are plain, and about 4 other patterns in this collection.

Here are a couple looks for you to consider to using more than one row of buttons on an outfit.

– Buttons Down The Center Of An Outfit On this Victorian lolita dress, you can see one set of buttons going down the center. Borrow this idea by lining up 3 rows of buttons to the center of a shirt or a dress. Use wholesale lace to dress up an ordinary little girls dress or jacket.

– Create Fabric Flowers With A Button In The Center- Cut out simple scalloped flowers which buttons can be sewn in the center. Cut out 30 0r so scalloped flowers and sew them all over a dress or jacket. View the first dress in this image for this idea.

– Use Cording Along side Buttons – If you have wooden buttons in a light ivory color, consider coordinating it with ivory stitching and ivory cording. Gather some ideas from these expensive military jackets. For more ideas, this link shows an additional 6 jackets. You can find cording in all sorts of colors to match up with buttons in the same color.

– Use Two Styles Of Buttons (In The Same Theme) On An Outfit- Many of these button collections come with plain buttons along side patterned buttons. Consider putting a row of plain buttons on a sleeve, and three rows on the front of jacket. This idea is represented in this picture

– Sew Rows Of Buttons Along The Edges Of A Jacket- On this Jean Paul Gaultier jacket you can see a whole range of buttons sewn on the edges of a jacket. This idea was used on a very expensive jacket, so it isn’t so crazy! Borrow the idea for yourself.

– Use 5 Plus Buttons On Your Sleeves- Why not go excessive and use up a collection of buttons on a sleeve? On this Burberry jacket, they use 8 buttons along the sleeve.

– Use Pom Poms Alongside Buttons- Imagine a little girls dress in orange and creamy yellow. Work with pom poms and line them up with buttons and work with coordinating trim and lace. Gather some inspiration from this Dolce Gabbana outfit.

– Place Buttons On A Diagonal Slant On A Dress– Borrow ideas from this Carolina Herrera dress by adding bright colored buttons in a diagonal line to long dress or jacket.

– Create A Button Quilt- There are other ways to use up a large amount of buttons. Sew them on a decorative quilt, or create a necklace out of them. 20 buttons can be spaced out on the edge of a hat, or used on a pair of gloves. Decorate the front of a backpack or a bag with 50 buttons.

When you can get buttons in large quantities of 50 and 100,…..you can get pretty creative in the way you use them for your kids outfits. What do you think? Below are my favorite selections from a dealer I ran across today on ebay….. I had to order the blue sea print (above) for myself.
