FAQs
What is the exact size of each bee button?
Each button measures approximately 1cm in size.
How many buttons are included in a pack?
Each pack contains 12 individual bee-shaped buttons.
Are these buttons machine washable?
They are durable, but hand washing or using a mesh laundry bag on a gentle cycle is recommended to preserve the finish.
Can these be used for heavy-duty clothing?
These are primarily decorative and are not recommended for high-tension areas like main coat closures.
Can I use these for scrapbooking?
Yes, they are excellent for papercrafts, though you may want to remove the shank with cutters for a flatter profile.
Troubleshooting
Button shank is too large for the fabric hole
Use a thicker needle to widen the entry point or opt for a fabric glue application instead of sewing.
Glue is not holding on glossy surfaces
Lightly sand the back of the button or the mounting surface before applying glue to improve adhesion.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To attach these buttons to fabric, use a needle and thread passed through the back shank. For best results, use a color-matched thread. If applying to non-fabric materials like wood or paper, use a drop of quick-dry craft glue. Avoid using these buttons on items that require frequent machine washing, as the finish may wear over time. If they must be washed, place the item in a mesh laundry bag and use a gentle cycle.
