A buckle is a type of fastening usually used on leather belts and shoes. Buckles can be adjusted, as the prong part of the buckle fits through a hole, and you can have many holes on a strap.

A button is a small, usually flat object that you use to keep your clothes shut. Buttons can be made of wood, metal shell or plastic. There is usually some holes through the button or a loop under the button so they can be stitched to your clothes. You fasten a button by passing it through a matching hole.

A lid is something that is used to keep a container of some sort closed. You see lids everywhere. Soda and soft drink bottles have lids, jars have lids, some boxes have lids, and even some furniture like trunks have lids.

A stopper is anything that is used to keep a bottle sealed. Most bottle stoppers are made from cork or rubber.
