You could string them together for a Christmas tree garland, or a doorway decoration, similar to hippie beads.

You could decorate a belt.

You could use them in flower arranging? I think maybe they might, if sewn to the base of a fresh flower, help prop it up?

You could clean them up nice and use them in a fishbowl.

You could glue them to a picture frame and put a needlepoint piece inside.

You could convert them to jewelry.

You could decorate your sewing box with them.

You could use them as homemade checkers or game pieces. Paint some in other colors.

You could use them as tokens with your kids' chore chart. Reward of buttons for chores and good behaviors, then they cash in their buttons for money or an event or a prize.

You could make hair ribbons out of them, or sew them onto elastics for a ponytail.
