Buttons - good source???

[pamipatch]

In Oz lots of thrift stores sell bottles of buttons cut off stuff not good enough to sell. Just yesterday I was chuffed (happy) to find bags full at my local $2 store, sold to use in kids craft. Lots of bigger one offs in there perfect for bags!!

If you have a facebook account you could post on there that you are wanting buttons. I have actually purchased a couple fabric estates that included tins of buttons and that's how I got stocked up.

Joann's Craft Store often has a huge bag of them for around $5. WHich I dont' think is bad, but then I don't use them alot, but...watch for the coupons and sales.. I saw them last time as buy one get one free..so 2 big bags for $5...definate bargain. I almost bought them but didn't. Or.. use the 50% coupons. Regular price all the time is just generic round, 4 hole colored ones about 1/2 or smaller in size are always 5 on a card for a buck. I'll pick up those from time to time just to have some on hand should I need them. Watch thrift store tho... I see them often there too.

You could buy some cheap shirts at garage sales and use the buttons. Sometimes they sell them for 50 cents.

That's a good idea. Hadnt thought about that!. I dont' look at clothes when I stop at yard sales or the thrift store but now with buttons in mind..that is a good source for finding unusual ones. I'll start looking!
