  • Stitch a button on a pillow to accent a closure, or stitch a row on the end of a pillowcase.
  • Use small buttons to add interest to drawer pulls. To make them look like they're sewn on, first stitch the holes with thread or wire, then glue onto wooden pulls.
  • Encircle a frameless mirror with an array of buttons. Apply a small amount of glue to each button and space evenly around the mirror.
