Where to buy a button maker in NYC?

October 27, 2008 9:07 PM

Where can I buy a button maker (a machine like this one) in the NYC area?

I want to buy from a store as opposed to over the internet.

Does anyone know a specific store in the NYC area that would carry such a machine and the related button making supplies.

It doesn't have to be exactly like the one on this webpage, just as long as it makes buttons.

Try calling Lee's Art Shop: [phone]. They seem to be good for crafts, though I can't say for certain if they'd have it. Everyone I know with a button maker got it online.

Also try walking around the Garment district.

Can you not email the company and ask them at [e-mail] ?

Best answer: I've seen them at A.C. Moore (in Queens) and I think the Michael's chain of craft stores sells them too.
