Buttons can be used to create art in many media. They can be strung together into jewelry, added to paintings in abstract or representative art, or formed into free standing sculptural statements. Buttons are available in so many shades, colors, and varieties of detail that they lend themselves to decorative mosaic-like art and to quilting embellishment as well. Buttons can be glued, stitched, woven, threaded or grouted onto objects for creative art projects.
