How to prepare for using this tool

1. Decide on the size of button you would like. We have 1”, 1.75” and 3” buttons.
2. Create your graphic. You can make a button out of anything put on a piece of paper (e.g. a drawing, your graphic printed out). Be sure to size your graphic to fit the correct size button. Download a template from online for the correct button size in whatever software you are comfortable using (e.g. Word, Adobe Photoshop).
3. Bring your paper to the Maker Studio to be cut and fit into the button of your choice.

Button usage will be determined on a case by case basis but will generally be limited to 3-5 buttons to learn the technique. If you require more than the limited amount you must provide the button making supplies.
