Where to buy cheap, bog-standard buttons?

[flubba]

I don't need fancy ones at 30p a button, just a big bag of normal big blue or red buttons. Does anyone know where the best place to get these is?

Market?

[teanosugar]

Dunelm, Aberkhan, ebay, Hobbycraft, local market/market hall?

Just been on hobbycraft and it's infuriating (5million results none of which look right), am also looking on ebay now. Thank you.

how about these Same shop has a green jar full and also sells a 1kg pack too.

If you are anywhere near Birmingham there's a fabulous button stall in the indoor market, and one near it which does bags of mixed buttons very cheaply

Worth asking at charity shops, some have button jars.

Good idea. I got a few from ebay in the end, but charity shop searches sounds a bit of a good plan!
