Where can I buy this button?

[thelittlenuttree]

Hello Crafters

I need to find a wholesale supplier for the button that is my Avatar. It is a cute sheep with dangling legs. I think they are made by 'Noble Kinderbutton' but I can find no record of this company on the Internet. At the moment we buy singly from John Lewis and they will not tell us their supplier.

I would be grateful if any body out there is a supplier of this button or knows a supplier.

Thanks for any help,

Richard

I couldn't actually get Noble Kinderbutton but found this. Don't know if it is any good.

Have you tried making something similar yourself out of fimo or sculpey?
They look pretty simple.

Thanks Lisa for your post. I have actually already contacted Jimmy Beans before posting here, who told me their supplier in the US. So I contacted their US supplier who have not been keen on informing me of where they get the button from. I think the button is European in origin so they must buy from Europe somewhere. I may have to just import via the US, which seems ridiculous but what can you do...

Hi Sand, unfortunately as we run a business, this would make our labour costs too high. I need potentially hundreds of them. Cheers, R

Sorry, I didn't think of it from that aspect.
Do you know what they are made out of?

We found them via the supplier of Jimmy Beans Wool! They are indeed made in Europe, by a german company. Thank you all for your help.

Sandy, unfortunately I dont know what they are made of - some kind of baby safe material, i know that much.
