Nikki Tervo

In 1995, a small home business was started. The name, Nikki Tervo Designs.  It was started after Nikki Tervo was involved in a serious industrial accident.  Set up more as a rehabilitation programme.  At the time never in her wildest dreams, was Nikki ever aware that the business would end up where it is today.

Today the business is the largest ceramic button business in Australia and is certainly one of the largest in the world.  With over 500 different button designs and many of these coming in several different colours, the range is very extensive.

Accompanying the buttons, there is also over 200 different quilting and stitching patterns in the Nikki Tervo Designs range. Designed by Nikki, the patterns are a very wide variety. There is something for every one. From motorbikes to cute mice, little projects to full quilt patterns

With big and bright photographs printed on the fronts of the patterns, it is even easy to make the designs quickly and easily and most stitchery patterns contain full colour charts.

Hand made

Every button is still individually hand made and hand painted.  No button is identical. Each is lovingly painted by hand and individually hand crafted. Nikki is still making them herself.

Nikki Tervo graduated from Art College with a ‘diploma of Art majoring in Ceramics’ in 1986.   With this history as a technical back ground, the buttons durability and quality is second to none.
