The tacks I used were slightly curved but the glob of glue stuck to the button. <br /><br />The buttons I used are all vintage buttons. I bought a bag of them on Ebay years ago. I haven't shopped on Ebay in quite awhile. You could also try Etsy since they now sell vintage items. Thanks so much for your questions. Have fun!Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12555247550952970100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1387629534664920866.post-59588603834655038482012-06-03T14:08:29.111-07:002012-06-03T14:08:29.111-07:00This might be a silly question, but what type of g...This might be a silly question, but what type of glue do you use? Superglue or a glue-gun or another type? Do you use the common tacks that have slightly curved backs, so you use enough glue to glob over the curvature?<br /><br />How would you recommend I get an assortment of interesting buttons -- do you handpick yours new at a sewing store or do you know of web resources where you can purchase an assortment of older buttons?<br /><br />Thank you.AliceGreenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03876968141031727716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1387629534664920866.post-22206627880869592282010-08-02T09:05:21.900-07:002010-08-02T09:05:21.900-07:00Such a simple great idea-love it, thanksSuch a simple great idea-love it, thanksAutumnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18113623673463364893noreply@blogger.com
