Button-Button is a beaded ornament cover for a glass or shatter-resistant ornament ball. Novelty buttons are the featured decoration. Netting, drapes, and dangles create a fanciful addition for your holiday décor. An endless variety of novelty buttons are available at craft stores and online. You can use identical buttons, or pick a theme. The buttons MUST have shanks, flat buttons will not work.
