I'm looking for a cheap source for buttons. I'm not into matching colors across CS, buttons , etc. so it doesn't bother me whether they've matching accessories or not. What I *would* like is a place that sells collections of something like brights, pastels and neutrals so that I don't need to buy different colors separately and at the same time cover a broad spectrum of colors.
Basically I want to get as many colors of buttons as possible by spending the smallest amount of money. YKWIM!
I was at Joann's the other day and say a great bag of mixed buttons. It seems like it was $5.99 for a big bag. Lots of different sizes too. I was really impressed. I wanted to buy it but I just don't use buttons. LOL Hope you find what you are looking for.
Does anyone have a good idea of where to get CLEAR buttons cheaply? SU's end up being almost 25 cents or more by the time you add S/H & tax. I want to use the technique shown in there catalog where you make a custom colored/stamped button for an embellishment...but the cost is outrageous! Thanks in advance for any help.
Do you have a Tuesday Morning near you? I was there and saw a huge container of assorted buttons (wonderful colors and great designs!). I believe it was $8? Hope this helps a bit - otherwise I would scour thrift stores and the clearance section of your local fabric stores.
I get a lot of my buttons from Thrift Stores... big bags for really cheap and cool vintage ones sometimes! I also have a factory outlet store near me and you can buy bags of buttons (all same color) for a buck or make a mixed bag out of the loose ones for a dollar too.
I have a blast in early spring when the yard sales start. I go out looking and will usually find a sale where someone is getting rid of their grandmothers button collection. I have found really vintage and antinque buttons this way.
I have also been at garage sales and found a piece of clothing that has the buttons I want. I will offer them them lower than asking, they usually take it.
My greatest find for $2 was an old christmas tin with buttons from europe.
i love thrift stores! we have one on our military base here and i have found some awesome deals too! and the monies go back into the comm, like for relief fund and college fund, layetts for new parents etc etc.
Cheap source of buttons?
