Button badge maker

[lara_banana]

Im not too sure where the best spot to put this in is... if there is a better spot mods please move it!!
Im wondering does anyone no where hopefully in Australia but any info would be lovely, where i can find a hand button badge maker, not the electronice ones because they are way too expensive!!
Thanks!!!!

I suggest a good old googlin' or you could go to local arts/crafts stores and ask if they have stockists that could get one in for you...

An art shop where I live sells badges made with patterned and vintage fabrics...they go for a couple of pounds each...are you just looking to make them for yourself, or sell them?

Toys 'R Us at Amazon has this one...

. It says its makes makes more than 70, 1.5-inch buttons and costs $24.95. I know that I've seen other versions in toy stores.

that is so great hebden!...

i saw those kinds of badges as well fff...
i thought about doing it myself since i have so many scarves, etc...that i never wear and would like to put to good use....

would like to have at least two sizes though...

 

[fab_fifties_fille]

Oooh that's not a bad price hebden...I fancy it now I've got a tonne of cute patterned scraps of fabric lying about

It kills me to hear you'd do that to scarves soft, I'll just pretend you said 'spare fabric'

I agree with the two sizes...I wouldn't want them all the same size, doesn't look random enough if you wanted to wear a couple.

i want !
i know wht will be on my xmas list . . . . !

 

[softgrey]

fff......
you don't understand...
as a stylist i have a 'wardrobe' closet...
and i have piles and piles of silk and chiffon scarves in all sorts of lovely prints...
i couldn't possibly wear them all...

but i hate that they just sit there if i don't need them for work...
since i am doing less jobs like that...
they are just going to waste...

i keep trying to figure out what to do with them...
as i don't want to part with them really...

Not a bad price at all 'super badge it' 3 different sizes, including new square badges

Ahh I was going to say 'I"ll send you my address' until I got to the last sentence
