buttons

[clueless!]

I need a dozen 27mm round lime green buttons. I can't find anywhere that sells them, I've tried all the usual haberdashery websites & ebay with no luck. Can anybody help?

Have you tried buying white buttons and finding those little covers that you can make yourself that then go over the top, like on the top of blinds and stuff, although they might be too big. Also, its probably a dumb idea, but you could paint white buttons lime green with special paint, I have some that goes on plastic and other shiny surfaces.

have you tried calling:

The Button Queen or Taylors Buttons in London? If you can't get any I suggest getting the fabric covered ones which can be made for you at Taylor's.

Good Luck!
