THESE ARE SO CUTE! Fabric-covered as shown. When I meet someone really kind and talented, I just want to support them! And these buttons from France are not only awesome, but they're made by a WONDERFUL woman named Delphine. She's got lots of styles -- I'd love to add more. Buy some, and help me support Delphine and her button company. They are wooden. I think these would make a lovely little gift for a stitchy/crafty friend.
