Does anyone know of a place that makes custom made buttons?

Question

I'm talking about a store I can go to, not an online shop. I was wondering if dept. stores offered this service. I need it for a halloween costume. Any stores that offer this service would be good. Thanks.

Answer 1

No but you can make your own from polymer clay.

Answer 2

Being tall, slender and white is a brilliant start up. :-) slightly tip: Lose the shoes(until eventually operating!), the baseball cap and the white t-blouse with baggy pants. Europeans positioned on comfortable, yet depending clothing and shoes all day lengthy, honestly in jap Europe, the position women are a lot more suitable suitable searching than Britain and France... in case you go with to blend in sturdy, sit down in a small cafe and sip black espresso for hours, study a paper or a e-e book or in simple terms carry out slightly persons observing. conceal your mouth even as sneazing, honestly no longer eat which include your palms, even even if it truly is a pizza or a sandwich. it truly is gross and extremely unhygienic... although i'm effective you already know those styles of already, thinking the very incontrovertible truth that you're asking this kind of spectacular question. Have a groovy time, Europeans honestly like human beings, so that you do not might want to conceal...:-)

I don't know about buying custom buttons, but as mentioned you can definitely make your own buttons from polymer clay. They can be any size, shape, color, surface design or finish you want as well, and they can be made with holes or with shanks or with nothing at all if you just want to glue them on.

Check out this page at my site for the basics on making polymer clay buttons, and for some links to photos of various types:

Buttons can also be made in the shape of some particular item like a bat or ghost if that's what you want, fairly easily by making a polymer clay mold from a little Halloween decoration or piece of jewelry, then baking that, and finally casting the color of raw polymer clay you want for your buttons into the mold (then removing, making holes, and baking).
Here's some info on making simple polymer clay molds (or or using molds made from other materials, like candy molds, e.g.):

If you don't want to make them yourself, you could always ask a polymer clayer to do them for you by asking in some of the polymer groups, for example (there are links to some of them on this page:
http://glassattic.com/polymer/groups--online2.htm
... click especially on the Yahoogroups and the Message Boards...)

There is also all kinds of info on using polymer clay (including the basics of how to bake it, etc.) at that site... check out the Table of Contents page:

(... then go to any page you want from inside the alphabetical navigation bar...)


HTH, and have fun!
