Square Resin Buttons

Most small buttons are plain and round, so a squared one quietly changes the look of a shirt front without changing anything else. These square resin buttons have softly rounded corners, a gently domed face and a pearl-look sheen moulded right into the resin, which shifts as the garment moves. At 11mm they are sized for a blouse placket or a baby cardigan, and the five colours cover almost any fabric you are likely to be sewing.

About Our Square Resin Buttons

Each button is moulded from resin in a squared shape with rounded corners, so nothing catches on the fabric and the edges stay comfortable against the skin. The face carries a soft pearl-like lustre with fine cloudy streaks running through it, the same effect you see on a good shirt button but in colour rather than plain white. White and cream are the two neutrals, with cream sitting slightly warmer and reading better against ivory, oatmeal and linen. Pink and yellow are soft pastels made for kidswear and summer cottons. Black is the only strong colour of the five, and the sheen shows there as a quiet grey shimmer rather than flat plastic. Two holes are drilled through the centre, wide enough for a standard needle with doubled thread, so they stitch on quickly and sit flat.

Perfect For

Shirts and blouses, baby and children’s clothing, light knitwear and cardigans, pyjamas and nightwear, linen and cotton summer pieces, doll clothes and softies, scrapbooking and card making, and the spare button tin. Because 11mm is the common shirt-button size, they also work as a straight replacement when a button goes missing and the original is nowhere to be found.

Choosing Your Pack Size

6 pieces is the pack for a single repair or a short placket, and it is the one to pick if you only need to swap out one or two buttons. 15 pieces covers a full shirt front or a cardigan with spares left in the tin for later, which is why most people choose it. Each pack is a single colour, so order one pack per colour if you want to mix, and both sizes come with a needle and thread.

A Note on Colour and Finish

The sheen and the fine streaks are moulded into the resin, so the pattern runs differently on every button and no two are identical. Colour can also vary slightly between production batches, and the pastel shades read warmer under indoor light than in daylight. These differences are normal for this kind of resin and are not a defect. If you need every button on one garment to match closely, order a single pack rather than two smaller ones.

Care Tips

Wipe with a soft, damp cloth and dry straight away. Resin buttons handle a cool machine wash, but turn the garment inside out or use a laundry bag, and keep them away from bleach, solvents and abrasive cleaners, which dull the sheen. Do not press a hot iron directly onto the buttons, as resin softens under high heat.

Whether you are sewing a summer blouse, making up a set of baby cardigans or simply restocking the button tin, these square resin buttons give a small, quiet change from the usual round button. Order your square resin buttons today.
