The puzzle works by being slid thru a button hole in a specific way (directions included). After it is "installed" on a jaket, purse or backpack, it looks simple to remove...however, the victem soon finds that it's not a simple as it looks! This puzzle can be baffling unless you think outside the box! Each puzzle includes directions and a description of the artist, as well as identification of the type of wood used. The Buttonhole puzzle comes in assorted fine and exotic hardwoods, as shown below. This item is sold out and no longer available. Our Marketplace is the best source for discontinued work.
