Little Bitty Birdies - 1" Pin-Back Button Designs

Finished pin-back buttons


Button Designs




I'm addicted to making pin-back buttons - I've made 1000's and 1000's so far. It's a hobby that involves an initial financial investment to buy the machine and parts, but it's well worth every penny.

These birds are original hand-drawn illustrations. This JPG file includes 20 different 1" circle designs, 48 circles total.

PAPER: A thin paper is best to avoid jamming the machine. I LOVE Epson's Presentation Paper Matte 27lb. It's light enough but has a fabulous colour rating. Images are bright and crisp.

YOU WILL NEED:
  1. Button machine
  2. 48 sets of 1" pin-back buttons
  3. 1 sheet of lightweight 8.5x11 paper
HOW TO MAKE:
  1. Download full resolution file        http://www.flickr.com/photos/54281161@N02/5117745967/
  2. Print
  3. Cut out circles
  4. Get button making (in other words follow the directions that came with your machine)
  5. Enjoy!
