Buttons: Type and size?

Here's a questions for you experts! I have a bag of buttons that I got at Wal-Mart labeled "Favorite Findings"....it's just a bag of random sized buttons. Can I use those on the Music Box Jumper that I want to make? The package says it can be sewn on....but they look more like craft stuff to me. Is there a difference between buttons? Is a button a button? (Then again, I'm very new to this!)

Also, I need 1/2" buttons but the package does not list the sizes included. To measure a button, do you just put it down on the tape measure and if it fits within the 1/2" mark it's a 1/2" button?


Thanks in advance for your help! I've been reading the posts on here to help with other projects that I've done. You guys are a priceless resource!
