Yes, I've been washing buttons. I love buttons - and many people give me all their old buttons. I sew them on quilts!! But when I get those little jewels they are a mess. I pick out all the fabric and threads (and dirt) and then wash them. They just shine after a little water and Windex!! So here is the process in pictures.
I found some three hole buttons - neat. I separate them by color and some by style - like cloth, cheap plastic, etc. Enjoy the pictures - and send my your old buttons! PS, I'm a quilter not a seamstress - poor DH never gets his shirts fixed that need a button, etc.
