FAQs
Are these buttons safe for children's clothing?
Yes, they are made from non-toxic materials. However, ensure they are sewn on securely to prevent choking hazards.
How many buttons are in one pack?
Each pack contains 5 individual buttons.
Can these be washed in a standard washing machine?
Yes, but it is recommended to place the item in a garment bag or turn it inside out to protect the button's finish.
Are they UV resistant?
The buttons are designed for longevity, and the included storage box is UV-safe to protect them when stored for long periods.
Can I use these for heavy-duty jackets?
These are primarily novelty buttons; they are best suited for light-to-medium weight fabrics rather than heavy-duty outdoor wear.
Troubleshooting
Button is loose or wobbly after sewing
Use a shank or a spacer (like a toothpick) while sewing to provide extra thread room, then wrap the thread around the base to create a secure stem.
Difficulty pushing button through the hole
Ensure your buttonhole is cut to the appropriate 15mm measurement; if it is too small, use a seam ripper to carefully extend the opening.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Delightful, eye-catching novelty aesthetic
- Convenient and protective reusable storage box
- Non-toxic construction suitable for various craft applications
- Compact 15mm size ideal for small-scale projects
Cons
- Limited to a pack of 5, which may not be enough for larger projects

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To attach these buttons, use a standard needle and thread suited for the weight of your fabric. If using a machine, set your button-sewing function to accommodate the 15mm diameter.
Care Instructions:
- Hand wash or use a delicate machine cycle when attached to garments.
- Turn garments inside out before washing to prevent scratching the button surfaces.
- When not in use, always return buttons to the provided clip-top storage box to ensure they remain UV-safe and free from debris.
