“As metals like copper, brass, and bronze age and patina, they become more beautiful over time. Metal buttons lend themselves a great addition to a handmade garment that is going to be worn for years. I like to think my buttons are adding a finishing touch to a masterpiece that someone else has created. A joint creation in a sense. When someone has taken so much time and effort to create such a beautiful garment, they shouldn't be putting generic buttons on such a thoughtfully crafted piece of clothing.” —Nicole Ibey, creator of the Handmade Metal Buttons
Bring the beauty of the natural world to your handknits with the Handmade Metal Buttons. Carefully handcrafted by a Vermont-based maker, these buttons are created from a sheet of metal that’s been naturally patinated to produce a beautiful, aged appearance. Slightly cupped to add to their functionality, no two buttons are identical, but easily complement each other.
For a simple, understated look the Classic Brass Buttons have you covered. Their lightly patinated finish makes them a great choice for most handmade garments. Like their Copper counterparts, their timeless look won’t take away from surrounding stitches; rather they will complement a range of projects, featuring simple to bold textured patterns.
Offered in five versatile sizes and sold individually—so you can get the exact number needed for your project—these buttons are sure to be your go-to adornments for your handmade wardrobe (and beyond)! Treat yourself, or the maker in your life, to these stunning one-of-a-kind buttons.
