Dog Enamel Buttons

Add a little character to your sewing with these dog enamel buttons. Each round button carries a simple puppy face raised in fine relief across a smooth, glossy enamel surface, framed by a polished rim. The drawing is clean and modern rather than childish, so the buttons work just as well on an adult cardigan as they do on a child’s coat, and a single row of them is enough to give a plain garment a personality of its own. At 11mm they sit in the small-to-medium range, which is the size most shirts, blouses, cardigans and lightweight knitwear are made for.

About Our Dog Enamel Buttons

The buttons are made from a durable metal base filled with a smooth enamel face, so they have the weight and cool touch of metal with the depth of colour that only enamel gives. Three combinations are available: black enamel with a gold-tone rim, white enamel with a gold-tone rim, and white enamel with a black rim. The gold-tone pairs read warm and slightly dressy against camel, cream, navy and tweed fabrics, while the black and white pair is graphic and quiet, and works well on grey, denim and monochrome pieces. The rim is a gold-tone or black surface finish over the metal base, and every button has a shank on the back rather than sewing holes on the face.

Perfect For

Cardigans and knitwear, kidswear and baby clothes, shirts and blouses, denim jackets, tote bags and pouches, pet-themed gifts, hand-knitted pieces, and repairs where one lost button is holding up a favourite garment. They also suit crafters who sew buttons onto scrapbook pages, hair accessories, brooches and small textile art.

Choosing Your Pack Size

Six pieces cover a cardigan front or a single repair. Fifteen is the most useful size for a full garment with cuffs, or for a project where you want a few spares set aside in the sewing box. Thirty suits makers working through several pieces, a matching set for a child and an adult, or anyone who would rather buy once and keep a stock on hand. Every pack, whatever the size, comes with needle and thread included.

A Note on Enamel and Finish

The enamel is filled and finished piece by piece, so the puppy outline can sit a fraction differently from one button to the next, and the depth of the enamel around the edge of the design may vary slightly. The rim is a surface finish rather than solid precious metal, and tone can shift a little between production batches. These small differences are normal for enamel buttons and are part of how they are made, not a defect.

Care Tips

Wipe the face with a soft, dry cloth to keep the enamel glossy. If you machine wash the garment, turn it inside out or fasten it inside a laundry bag, use a cool cycle, and avoid bleach, solvents and abrasive cleaners, which can dull the enamel and the rim finish. Do not press a hot iron directly onto the buttons.

If you are replacing existing buttons, measure your buttonhole and your current button before ordering, so the new ones fit without straining the fabric. Whether you are finishing a hand-knitted cardigan, refreshing a child’s coat or adding a playful detail to a craft project, these dog enamel buttons bring a friendly, characterful touch to every piece.
