Button: Bamboo by Tierracast: Copper

Buttons are a perfect addition to any craft or jewelry project.  They can be used as a clasp or as a button or even as a bead!  

 

Bamboo is a fascinating plant.  Did you know that it is one of the fastest growing plants in the world and can grow 3 feet within a 24 hour period?  It is also one of the strongest plants in the world and has a tensile strength (ability to withstand pulling)  comparable to steel and a compressive strength (ability to withstand pushing) comparable to concrete or brick!
