I've heard of pearl buttons, but what about button pearls?

Button Your Lip

Another symmetrical pearl that lends itself to a variety of projects is the button pearl. It tends to be flatter on one side, so beaders often use it for earrings. However, that's not all these buttons can hold together. You can also find button pearls drilled for stringing at the widest point or the narrowest, which gives you a lot of variety of how you can use these pearls in your projects, and that's another useful thing to know when you buy your buttons!
