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.

  3. 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.

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

  7. 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!

  10. 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.
