The Return of the Giant Buttons

I used to sell some gigantic wooden buttons in my shops. They were awesome but I've not been able to get any from my supplier for ages. Well, now they're back! Button lovers rejoice! The buttons are a massive 8cms wide (just over 3 inches). They're available in pairs from my Etsy and Folksy shops, or you can buy them individually from my website.

Love, love, love...but what can I do with them?

They're fab, aren't they! :)

You could use one on a bag perhaps? or to make fab brooches to pin to a coat?

They're unfortunately just too small to be used as coasters (and the backs are slightly rounded so they don't lie completely flat) but I think they'd look great on display in a sewing room.

Just seen a great project that people can do with your fab giant button:

Putting it on my wish list!

Please could you let me know the size of the largest wooden button you do, I'm looking for one approx 25cm and struggling a little!!

Hi Katie, the biggest buttons I sell are 12.5 cm... I think you'll have trouble finding a button that big in craft supply stores, but you could try this: http://www.etsy.com/listing/78023942/snugbuttonboard? - it's a chopping board shaped like a button and is the size you need. I have one myself, it's lovely!

Oh yes I've seen that, I was a little wary ordering one as wasn't sure of the quality but that's great thank you :)

Unknown said...

Ps. What colour is it as it doesn't seem overly clear on the website, thank you :)

No idea, sorry Katie! I bought mine a while ago and judging from the updated product photo they've switched to a different sort of wood.
