I have been stockpiling these wooden shank buttons whenever I can find them, sanding off the finish, and now I am painting them. My first batch is toadstools, which I first made for Gemma's "Woodland Cardigan Number 2" (Ravelry link here). I received some comments and inquiries on the buttons, so I decided to make some for the shop.
These are 3/4" in diameter and sold in pairs. I have some larger ones I may paint up soon as well, likely to be sold individually.
Let me know what you think!

What a great idea! They're really sweet...I can picture them on a sweater that somehow incorporates a tweedy, forest green and moss stitch! Love them!

Gorgeous buttons! I love all things Austrian so I understand your mushroom love!! You've made a plain button look exciting!
The buttons are lovely!
Oh those are so cute!
They are FABULOUS! They're the kind of button that would inspire a knitting or sewing project to be planned around them. Seriously. Dreamy.
You always amaze me! +JMJ+
They are awesome! Just perfect for a 'woodland' cardigan.
Squeal! They are the cutest buttons. I love that we have those toadstools grow in our backyard in winter. I hope you are enjoying the start to the New Year. May it be filled with many wonderful adventures for you and your lovely family. Jacinta x
