Where can I buy very small toggle buttons for doll clothes?

Answer 1

Go to www.joanns.com or you could just find your local Joanns store I'm pretty srue they carry them.

Answer 2

I haven't seen toggle buttons but you can get very small round buttons in craft shops catering for card makers or scrapbookers. There are some in the Favourite Findings or Craftime ranges.

Answer 3

Why not make them yourself from polymer clay?

That way you could have any shape, size, and color, as well as any pattern or surface finish, if you wanted one.

You could also make one hole or any number of holes (from to back or side to side), or add one of various kinds of shanks to their backs.
(I once made some really tiny buttons --regular style ones with a depressed center and 2 holes-- for some tiny fabric "vests," and they look reallly cool).

There's lots of info on making buttons of various types with polymer clay on this page of my website:

(just make your buttons smaller)
And this "beads" page might have more inspiration for shape and color possibilities, etc.:

If you're not familiar with polymer clay**, check out the pages at my site too for basic info on using it, like baking (in a low oven), adding finishes, mixing colors, making holes, etc.

**Premo, FimoClassic, and Kato Polyclay (plus Cernit or a few others if you're not in the US)
...and the weaker brands (after baking, in any thin areas) FimoSoft, Sculpey
