Buttons For Everyone!

Day 266.
Buttons For Everyone!

We have as tradition when we cheer our girls on in competition. We make buttons for all their supporters. Years ago I found a great company called Badge-a-Minit and their products are made in the USA.

I use their button maker and replacement supplies to make pins for everyone to show support from the audience at a competition and this year is no exception. Here's the process...

First I make color copies of the photo I want to use and I cut out perfect circles with the circle cutter...

 

 

Then I take the front of a pin set, add the photo and cover it with a clear plastic disc in the button maker casing and I give it a hard press...

 

 

Then I press the image back into the casing and add the pin back...

 

 

I add the remaining pieces of the casing and get ready to press..

And when I'm done I have a ready to wear button...

 

Good luck Amanda and Kimberly!
