FAQs

Are these buttons safe for children to use?

While the buttons are made of wood, they are small and could pose a choking hazard for young children. Adult supervision is recommended.

Can I put these buttons in the washing machine?

These are primarily designed for decorative craft projects. They are not recommended for garments that require regular machine washing.

Can I paint them with acrylics?

Yes, the natural wood surface is perfect for acrylic paints and will absorb the pigment well.

How thick are the buttons?

The buttons maintain a standard craft-grade thickness, providing a nice raised profile without being too heavy for cardstock.

Do they come with string or twine?

No, the pack includes only the 200 wooden buttons.

Can I use these for scrapbooking?

Absolutely, they are ideal for adding texture to scrapbook pages, but ensure you use acid-free glue if you are concerned about archival safety.

Troubleshooting

Glue not holding to the button surface

Ensure the back of the button is free of sawdust or debris. If the surface is too smooth, lightly scuff the contact point with fine-grit sandpaper before applying glue.

Marker or ink bleeding into the wood grain

Apply a thin layer of clear gesso or matte primer to the button before coloring to seal the wood fibers and prevent spreading.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Generous 200-piece pack size offers excellent value.
  • Versatile natural finish allows for easy DIY customization.
  • Appropriate size for a wide range of papercrafts and mixed-media projects.
  • Sturdy construction ensures durability in long-term display items.

Cons

  • No adhesive included; requires glue or thread for application.
  • Natural wood may vary slightly in shade, which might not suit perfectly uniform projects.
  • Not suitable for heavy-duty clothing fasteners due to their lightweight design.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To apply these buttons, choose an adhesive suitable for the surface you are working on, such as a PVA glue for paper projects or a cyanoacrylate adhesive for wood-to-wood bonding. If sewing onto fabric, use a standard needle and thread. Because these are natural wood products, store the remaining buttons in a cool, dry place to prevent warping or discoloration. To clean the buttons once attached, gently wipe with a soft, dry cloth; avoid using water or harsh solvents as these may cause the wood to swell or damage any paint or decorations you have applied.
