Default Giant Buttons

Giant Clown Buttons

Ok so looking through pictures online I've discovered that I LOVE the giant Buttons that I've seen clowns wearing... Leon Mcbride, even Kwayzee on here...

Where does one find buttons like these?

I may end up winging it and making my own... I'm thinking a couple of saucers from a childs plastic tea set and an electric drill will do the trick.

I may have a jacket made for RD which Ideally will incorporate these buttons.

I know that Paula Biggio at Clown Supplies Laugh It Up Clownstuff carries the large buttons. Hers are a two part button so the center can be one color and the outer part can be a different color. I don't remember the cost but they were very reasonable. I think they measure somewhere around 2 inches in diameter

If I remember right, Leons buttons are not really buttons but appliquied onto his suit. With little ribbons X in the middle.

They now have big buttons in the regular button isle in fabric shops and walmart if your walmart still has a fabric dept. Also try Micheal's

I found some plastic ones one time in a dollar store. In with the toys for kids to string together. But they were a little cheaply made. But hey...it was a dollar for about 15 of them.

Jo anna and Hancock Fabrics have had some really fun buttons for sale that are anywhere from 1 1/2 in to 2. Might want to see if those will work
