FAQs

What does 'assortment' mean for these buttons?

It means each pack contains a variety of different button shapes, sizes, and designs within the seashell theme. However, the exact mix of buttons can differ from pack to pack.

Can these buttons be sewn onto fabric?

Yes, most buttons can be sewn onto fabric. It is recommended to use a sturdy needle and thread for secure attachment.

What is the best adhesive for attaching these buttons to paper?

A good quality craft glue or a glue stick designed for paper crafts will work well. For heavier cardstock, a stronger liquid adhesive might be more effective.

Are these buttons waterproof?

The buttons are generally not waterproof. Exposure to excessive moisture may damage their finish or material. It's best to avoid submerging them in water.

How should I store the buttons to keep them in good condition?

Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally in a container or small bag to prevent them from getting lost and to protect them from dust and damage.

Can I use these buttons for children's crafts?

While suitable for many craft projects, caution should be exercised if young children are involved, as the buttons are small parts and could be a choking hazard. Adult supervision is recommended.

Do the buttons have shanks or holes for sewing?

Button designs vary; some may have holes to be sewn through, while others might have a shank on the back. The specific attachment method will depend on the individual button's design within the pack.

Troubleshooting

Buttons not adhering well to surface

Ensure the surface is clean and dry before applying adhesive. Use a stronger adhesive suitable for the specific material (e.g., fabric glue for textiles, strong craft glue for paper).

Varied contents not meeting project needs

Purchase multiple packs if a specific variety is needed, or incorporate the unexpected elements creatively into your design.

Buttons feel fragile for intended use

For high-wear items or surfaces, consider reinforcing the attachment with stitches or using a more durable adhesive.
