Badge Maker
We have a badge maker (located by the sewing station) that you are welcome to use.
There are 3 pieces that make up a badge – top transparent film, button shell, and button back cover (we also have bottle opener backs for larger sizes)

Setting Up Your Artworks
-
- Download the Illustrator template
- Apply your artwork – Take note of the amount of bleed needed to wrap around the button
- Print out your button on standard paper – Don’t print the coloured markings (tip: use clipping masks)
- Cut the artwork out (light blue bleed circle)
