Rewind: The History Behind the Button - TMI 132

The National Button Society established Button Day as a celebration for all who enjoyed collecting and crafting with buttons. The buttons you collect can be used for many different things, like repairing clothes with missing buttons. Buttons are an excellent source of craft ideas, such as picture frames, clocks, purses and bags, headbands, costume jewelry, lampshades, and even shoes.

Everyone appreciates the job buttons perform, but have you ever wondered about its history?
