Buttons!

(Don't you hate when one word could be two different things? Here by buttons we mean those things with sharp pins on the back, not the things to sew onto your clothes.)

For this swap you will have 1 partner that you will send 2 buttons to. The size of these buttons should be around one inch across the middle of the button. Button sizes vary but please stick close to the one inch size. Buttons do not have to have a theme or match profiles but if you are sending something iffy (such as curse words or religious symbols) check the persons profile for signs that they may not appreciate that.

These buttons could be new or from your collection but should be in good condition. If the pin part is covered in rust, please don't send it. If it's bent or otherwise messed up, keep it. If you have a fancy button maker and can make a nice button then you may make your buttons. Please do not use those cheap plastic make your own buttons from craft stores. We want to trade quality buttons.

It is best to mail buttons in a small padded envelope. You can pick up a bubble padded envelope at mail stores or even many grocery stores. I even recently saw one inch buttons at WalMart so you could get both your buttons and padded envelope at the same store if you shop the right place.

I started collecting buttons and pins when I was 5 and started trading them at the same time. I have a hard time giving up even buttons that I already have but button/pin trading is a lot of fun so join me in a button swap!
