Buttons 2 Button’s innovative design is easy to attach to shirts of your choice. Simply pop one part over the shirt button and the other part to the buttonhole to transform shirts into magnetic closures. Fine motor skills are necessary for installing, but are specially designed for long-term use and withstand regular washing and drying. The unique, semi-permanent attachment allows product to be used temporarily and transferable to other shirts. The limited edition magnetic buttons aresold in sets of 9 for $30 or in bulk quantities.
