JOURNALING: Dating from 2500 BCE, buttons initially were made from shells or bones. Today they even are made from recycled materials.
Buttons initially were used as decorative elements before becoming functional fasteners in the 1800's.
This special day was started in 1938 by the National Button Society to recognize button collecting as an organized hobby.
Besides using in crafts, some people actually show their button collections in competitive, judged events.
