Compact Mirrors Make Nice Novelty Items

If you have a 2-1/4" or larger button machine, then you can make mirror buttons. Make buttons that match your tote or other purse accessories. Use fabric for a unique look too.

Too often, visitors don't realize that they can make more than buttons with their button machine. And more often, when I talk about these mirrors people don't believe that it is a "REAL" mirror.

Why Make Mirror Compact Buttons 

Maybe you have to be a female to really appreciate mirror buttons.

Believe me these are so adorable and I can't even keep one in my possession.
I even tried to customize my button with my nickname, "CloverGirl".

It didn't work!! I am still mirror-less. I don't have time to make another one because I'm so busy, but I always need one when I am out.

So Why Make Mirror Buttons...

1.) Market them to stores that cater to female accessories.
a.) They are great as small gifts.
b.) Add to a purse or tote.
c.) Customize mirrors to promote their store.
2.) Market them to salons, spas.
a.) I think these would be great as giveaways, promotional uses
b.) Market to any field that makes women look fabulous.
