Buttons

Buttons add a beautiful and practical finishing touch to clothing, accessories, and craft projects. Use them as fasteners for cardigans, sweaters, baby clothes, and bags, or as decorative accents on crocheted and knitted projects. At Yarnplaza, you’ll find buttons in a variety of sizes, colors, shapes, and materials.

In this collection, you'll find wooden buttons, coconut buttons, decorative buttons, children's buttons, and more. This makes it easy to choose a button that suits your project: natural and understated, cheerful and colorful, or eye-catching as a finishing touch.

The type of button you need depends on the kind of project and the material you’re working with. For a chunky-knit cardigan, a button can be a bit larger and sturdier, while for baby clothes or fine crochet work, it’s better to choose a smaller, lighter button. Also consider the color, thickness, and number of buttonholes, so that the button matches your yarn, fabrics, and design well.

Which buttons are right for your project?

Wooden or plastic buttons are a great choice for cardigans, sweaters, and jackets. They’re sturdy, easy to see, and available in many different sizes. For baby projects, kidswear, and cuddly toys, you can choose cheerful shapes, soft colors, or small decorative buttons. For bags, Home Accessories, and creative projects, decorative buttons are a fun way to add extra character.

Buttons for Crochet, Knitting, and Sewing

Buttons are suitable for all kinds of craft projects. In crocheting and knitting, for example, you can use them for cardigans, shawls, baby clothes, Amigurumi, and accessories. In sewing projects, buttons are useful for clothing, pencil cases, bags, cushions, and decorative finishes. Always choose a button that isn’t too heavy for your fabric and fits well through the buttonhole.
