Nothing personal, but why in the world are you making buttons by hand? I've done it before, and it's tedious, annoying, and error prone. Our team, and I suspect many others, goes to a company with the artwork, and has them make up the buttons for us. You get some pretty nice price breaks for making lots of buttons. I think ours are coming out to $0.70 or less each, and we're making about a thousand. Of course, then you can't make lots of different buttons, but it sure is cheaper and easier. Just a thought for next year. I'm not exactly sure what the company would be listed under in the yellow pages. Probably novelty supply or something.
Actually, that's probably where you should look for button making supplies. Call some shops listed in the novelties section. if they don't have them, one of them can probably direct you to the right place.
