Default Button Ideas?

Just wondering if I could solicit you all for some button ideas?
I'm creating a web page just for buttons that has a list of ideas. I've scrounged the web and to my dismay... there is nary a site with just ideas for buttons.
I only could think of 11... and now am stumped.

I appreciate any/all help! TIA

Default Buttons

What do you have so far? I don't use buttons a lot, but I like to fold one corner down and glue a button over it and use a button for the center of a flower. Is that the sort of list you are putting together?

Buttons are a great way to add an accent to ribbon...

here's what I have so far:

* Having problems with the adhesive showing through the vellum when you attach it? Try attaching a bow or button on top of where you put your adhesive. Or, you a corner slot punch to hold the vellum in place.
* Create button with poly shrink!
* Button up a corner!
* Thread your ribbon thru a button.
* Add buttons to your tag, in the corners, around a title.
* Use a button to attach your tag to the layout instead of tying with fiber.
* Put small buttons in your shaker box instead of confetti!
* Sew buttons with fancy fibers.
* Attach a charm to your button.
* Find vinatge buttons at second hand stores, thrift stores, or rummages.
* Buttons on a snowman

I have a couple pig stamps - and a thick, pink button with two holes works good as a nose.

i'm not a huge fan of buttons, but i took a class where we put a button on a small safety and then poked the safety pin through a knot we'd made in a fiber. despite not really caring for buttons as embellishments, i loved the way it looked and have used it elsewhere. it's a neat variation on having a bow or dangling ribbon/fiber.
