Try looking through your knit/crochet library of patterns or books (I see that stack over there waiting to be organized) for more patterns and methods to knit or crochet buttons that you may have overlooked.

Etsy.com is also a wonderful resource for handmade buttons. There are button tutorials available also. The prices vary, but there is something for every budget and you will be supporting the handmade revolution. Hooray!

So go ahead and get rambo with you finishing touches! I know you want to.
