About The Magpie’s Eye

The Magpie’s Eye is a sparkly little nest filled with handmade buttons in a kaleidoscope of colour, glitter and charm - pure joy in every piece!

The idea took flight over a decade ago during my maternity leave, when I was selling wholesale craft supplies and spotted a serious gap in the button world. Where were all the glittery, vibrant, wildly fun fastenings? Nowhere to be found, so I decided to make them myself.

At the time, I was part of a small but passionate community of button lovers and collectors, and we were all craving something a little more… magical. Enter: me, Emma, on a mission to bring sparkle to sewing boxes everywhere.

What began as tiny, limited-edition batches shared on social media (and snapped up in seconds) grew into a full-fledged shop, where I now make these colourful creations to order so everyone has a chance to own, collect and enjoy them. Along the way, my buttons have even found their way onto costumes in prominent theatre productions and blockbuster movies - something I never dreamed of when I first started out!

Creating these joyful little buttons has been a delight, and the kind words and support from my amazing customers continue to inspire me every single day. I truly love making them for you, and I hope they bring a little sparkle to your world too.
