FAQs
Are these buttons safe for children's clothing?
Yes, these buttons are non-toxic, making them suitable for children's garments. Always ensure they are sewn on securely to prevent choking hazards.
Can I iron over these buttons?
No, direct heat from an iron can damage the plastic material. Always cover the area with a pressing cloth or avoid the buttons entirely when ironing.
What is the benefit of the storage box?
The clip-top storage box is designed to keep your buttons dust-free and protected from UV light, which helps maintain their color and integrity over time.
Are these buttons dishwasher safe?
These buttons are intended for garment and textile use. They are not designed for dishwasher use.
Can these be used for heavy fabrics like denim?
While they can be sewn onto denim, they are primarily decorative novelty buttons and may not withstand the stress placed on heavy-duty closures like fly buttons.
Troubleshooting
Button feels loose after sewing
Ensure you have used enough thread passes through the holes or shank; consider adding a small 'thread shank' to allow the fabric to sit comfortably behind the button.
Thread fraying at the button hole
Use a clear nail polish or fabric sealant on the raw edges of your buttonholes to prevent further fraying before attaching the buttons.

Care Instructions:
- Always consult the specific washing guidelines included in the package.
- Turn garments inside out before machine washing to protect the button surface from abrasion.
- Use a gentle cycle and mild detergent to extend the life of the buttons.
- If ironing the garment, avoid direct heat contact with the plastic button surface to prevent melting or warping.
