Bulk Buttons
bought 5 pounds of buttons @ Carvers Cloth & Wholesale. I got the 5 pounds for $20.00 plus tax (even though they were being sent out of state) and shipping. The total was only $26.85 though, so still not bad. The mixture included quite a few small ones, as well as metallics, etc. Many matches, many none matches. It was a big project for us to sort. But it was fun. The older kids even helped.I may be wrong here, but I'm under the impression that the whole point of buying bulk (buttons) is that they're not sorted. I envision big barrels that they just scoop out of to fill an order. At any rate, I've used a lot of the buttons. Both for crafts and for sewing clothing. Not a bad investment at all.
