The buttons are from our local haberdashers - they're about 15mm at the widest point. I paid 30p each for them.
I've just got some red glitter heart buttons from eBay (same size) - 20 for £2 inc postage Very Happy

I love road kill bunny!

Ya know there really is a market for this kind of thing...Iwent to The Christmas German Market that goes to manchester every year and there was a stall run by some arty types selling some 'monsters' made from old scraps of material. The difference was they all had an individual message printed on tracing paper that accompanied them. There was one there that really touched me and I bought it for my OH as a little extra pressie...it was £25!!!!! Shocked !!!! ....so yes, there are some mad people out there who are willing to part with too much money for soft toys that are cute and very different.

Problem is that you would either have to be very clever or very funny to come up with a story for 'roadkill bunny' without it becoming a very morbid oddity! Mine came in a presentation box on a bed of hay. I think you could be really onto something here, very different and really cool! Well done you.

This is the one I bought (scanned so not great photo) as I couldnt be bothered with photos/downloading etc)

Aaw, the pics aren't working Sad I'd love to see it Very Happy

Mine will have similar individual certificates with them, Sparkle, and each one will be numbered. For obvious reasons, they're all unique - I couldn't make two the same if I tried Rolling Eyes Laughing
