Instead get to your nearest sewing store or fabric supplier and buy new ones that you love. Or order buttons on etsy or ebay. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-a-sharpie-cant-fix#post-1122366 Thu, 26 Dec 2013 12:51:12 +0000 Janet 1122366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Why have I never thought of that? Brilliant idea, and it looks like it worked really well. Maybe I should try that on the buttons of the turquoise JCrew pea coat -- I was going to switch out the bright gold buttons for some more muted silver toned ones since I'm not much of a bright gold person. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-a-sharpie-cant-fix#post-1122353 Thu, 26 Dec 2013 11:15:54 +0000 Anonymous 1122353@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see what you mean in pic 1.

The shiny copper buttons on the one I have compete with my jewelry and it bugs me. I realized the jacket fit is fine, the wash is what I want, but those darned buttons!!</p> <p>I colored over the copper with a blacl sharpie and got great results! Pic one is the old version, pic two shows the "new" buttons. They are perfect! </p>
