FAQs
What is the diameter of these buttons?
These buttons measure 18mm in size.
Are these buttons safe for children?
Yes, they are made from non-toxic materials, making them suitable for children's clothing.
How many buttons come in a pack?
Each pack contains 4 yellow duck-shaped buttons.
Can these buttons be machine washed?

Do I need to buy a separate container for these?

Are these buttons suitable for heavy-duty denim?
While they can be attached to denim, 18mm is generally best for lighter-to-medium weight fabrics; ensure you use heavy-duty thread for added security.
Troubleshooting
Button thread keeps coming loose
Apply a small drop of clear nail polish or fabric fray-stop solution to the knot of the thread after sewing to lock it in place.
Difficulty passing the button through the buttonhole
Ensure your buttonhole length is appropriate for an 18mm button; if it is too small, carefully enlarge the opening with a seam ripper.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal results, use these buttons on medium-weight fabrics to prevent pulling or sagging. If machine sewing, consider using a button foot or set your machine to a zigzag stitch with a width matching the button's eye spacing to ensure a secure fit. Always store the buttons in the provided clip-top box when not in use to prevent them from becoming brittle due to UV exposure or collecting dust. When washing garments featuring these buttons, it is recommended to turn the garment inside out or place it in a mesh laundry bag to prevent the duck heads from snagging on other items in the washer.
