As an avid button collector, this interests me greatly, but what does "non shank" mean please?

A shank less button is flat on back and a button with a metal or plastic protrusion to attach to the garment is a button with a shank.

@lilacnyello thank you for explaining that. Good, because flat buttons are easier to post than the ones with the bit poking out the back. I also have some pretty and colourful and shaped ones.

I love, love, LOVE buttons! I'm in!

I am looking forward to this swap. I hope all the watchers sign up too.

So we are sending only 10 buttons? are these design buttons or plain round ?

We are sending 10 shank-less buttons. For a heart you may send a couple more. That's your choice. As long as they are flat on back and have at least 2 holes the shape could be senders choice. Use the Swap Bot golden rule, send something you would like to receive.How's that?

To keep the envelope flat (thus saving money on postage) I used double sided tape to attach each button to a piece of paper.

This tip might help other swappers.
