Paw Print Metal Shank Buttons 20-Pack – Hand-Sewn Style Irregular Shape, Light Gold & Nickel Silver Finish, Zinc Alloy Coat Buttons in 18mm, 23mm & 33mm

Not your standard round button. These hand-sew metal shank buttons are die-cast in an irregular paw print silhouette — a playful, sculptural shape that turns a functional fastener into a design statement. Available in warm light gold and cool nickel silver, they add character to coats, jackets, and pet-themed projects without looking costume-y.

What's Included

20 buttons total across two finishes and three sizes:

Finish               Available Sizes                  Tone
Light Gold       18mm / 23mm / 33mm    Warm champagne gold
Nickel Silver    18mm / 23mm / 33mm    Cool brushed silver

Key Features

• Paw Print Silhouette – Irregular, asymmetric footprint shape that reads as both playful and sophisticated; a conversation starter on any garment
• Hand-Sewn Shank Attachment – Metal loop shank on the back for traditional hand-sewing; no visible thread on the button face, keeping the paw print design clean and uninterrupted
• Two Classic Metal Finishes – Light gold pairs with warm-toned, tan, and cream fabrics; nickel silver complements cool-toned, grey, and navy materials
• Zinc Alloy Construction – Solid die-cast metal with satisfying weight and durability; resists tarnishing, bending, and everyday wear
• Three Functional Sizes – From delicate cuffs to oversized statement closures, there's a size for every application

Design Ideas & Applications

Why These Stand Out

Most decorative buttons are still round — they just add a pattern to the same shape. These break the mold entirely with an irregular paw print outline that creates real visual interest. The raised, sculpted surface catches light and shadow, and the metal shank keeps the design face completely clean. They look custom-made, but ship ready to sew.
