Couldn't find a matching button to fix my coat with, so I painted my girls face on a wooden button (infosec.pub)

True. Buttons don't need to match at all. Lean into this, get different style buttons for all of them and paint them all.

Ooh, I'll definitely do that down the line when more and more fall off! Taking them off on purpose kinda feels like it goes against the spirit of the repair haha
