I love these little shaped buttons! I went to Michael's and they are all on sale...$1.50 each!!! Some of them are flat on the back and some of them have a shank. It's pretty easy to cut that off so you can embellish a card (just be careful with the x-acto knife......it's sharp and I sliced my finger pretty bad!) They have all sorts of themes -- camping, butterflies, flowers, animals, nautical, hearts, snowflakes, ladybugs, bees....I bought a TON of them!
I think I may have a million different buttons from Jesse James in all different themes and styles. These little guys are wonderful and SO easy to use on just about everthing I have. Ladies, if you don't have a Michael's, try Hobby Lobby, Joann's, and Hancock Fabrics to try and find them.
At our local Total Crafts (which is a total dump!) they do sell this plier thingee that snips of the button shanks safely!!
I'm sure you could find one of these online somewhere!
They sell the button shank remover at Walmart in the sewing section near the buttons for about $4 I think. Maybe even less. I bought mine there quite awhile back.
You're not alone in that boat, Jennifer! I've been buying them for years now, esp when Hobby Lobby has them for half price - 99c (check the ads!). Trouble is, I just hate to actually use them; they're so darn cute!
