Buttons are excellent embellishment choices for the frugal scrapbooker. You can buy a huge bag of buttons at your local craft store or simply get in the habit of cutting off extra buttons from your family’s old clothes. Children’s clothing often has a variety of nice buttons that can be used in your scrapbook pages, for example. Flat buttons are the ideal embellishment option, but you can also purchase a button shank remover if you find a decorative button you wish to use in your project.

While I love using buttons on my scrapbook layouts, I hate to sew! Instead of sewing buttons to a page, sew thread through button and knot. Use glue dots to adhere button to page. Or, if you’re feeling really lazy, just use the glue dot and save yourself some time!
