Buttons are the well-known allure of everyday life that hold together the fabric of our lives, one click at a time.

Getting perfectly matching buttons to match your fabric can be tricky. At Chetna International, we make this super easy with our eco-friendly wood buttons for clothing. Our buttons are sustainable and customizable, allowing us to achieve the ideal look easily. Here's how you can stain wood buttons to match your fabric.

Why Wood Buttons Are a Great Choice

Wood buttons offer you a touch of natural charm and texture that plastic buttons lack. Top sustainable brands like Stella McCartney and Patagonia choose wood buttons as they look great with their eco-friendly values.

Our eco-friendly wood buttons for clothing are ideal for designers dedicated to sustainability with ease.

What You’ll Need

• Unfinished wood buttons (ideally coconut wood buttons or bamboo buttons from a trusted platform like Chetna International)
• Wood stain, button, or fabric dye (matching your fabric color).
• Paintbrush or sponge applicator.
• Measuring cup.
• Fine-grit sandpaper.
• Gloves and paper towels.
  Measuring spoons (tsp & tbsp).
• Dyeing container (plastic bowl, stainless bowl, or glass bowl).
• Plastic cover for workspace.
• Rubber or plastic gloves.
• Paper towels to test color.
• Sewing supplies (needle, thread, scissors) or glue gun (optional to attach dyed buttons to garment, accessories, or crafts)

Prepare Your Buttons

• Prepare wood by sanding to remove the existing finish and wiping with a damp paper towel to remove dust.
• Use a plastic container, glass, or stainless steel bowl. The dye solution must cover all items fully.
• Dye for up to five minutes (or until the color is ideal). The item will appear slightly darker while wet.
• Rinse items thoroughly with cool water to remove extra dye, then hand wash with soap and water and air dry as usual.
• Lightly sand buttons with fine-grit sandpaper if they have a glossy finish. Sanding helps the stain absorb better.
• Attach buttons to a garment or use them in crafts or accessories.

Tips and tricks 

Different woods absorb stains differently, so it's important to always test your stain first:

• Apply a small amount of stain to one button.
• Let it dry completely to check if it matches your fabric.

Once ready, follow these simple steps:

1. Apply a thin, even coat of stain using your brush or sponge.
2. Quickly wipe away excess stain to prevent uneven coloring.
3. Allow buttons to dry fully (typically 2-4 hours), and always check your stain’s instructions.

Protect Your Buttons

Applying a sealant helps protect buttons from wear and moisture:

• Once dry, add a thin coat of eco-friendly sealant.
• Allow the sealant to dry thoroughly before attaching buttons to your garments.

Tips for the Perfect Match

• Layer Stains: If one coat isn't enough, you can apply additional coats until you reach your required shade.
• Custom Mix: Combine the stains to create your unique color.
• Use Natural Dyes: Consider natural dyes like turmeric, beetroot, or coffee grounds for eco-friendly and unique shades.
