Make a badge

⏱️ 1-2 hours 📊 Intermediate ✂️ Craft

About This Idea

Design and create custom buttons, pins, or patches showcasing your art, messages, or affiliations. Badges let you express identity, support causes, or share humor on jackets, bags, or lanyards. Use button-making machines ($20-50 kits available), hand-sew patches, or design printable stickers. Learn graphic design basics, work with circular compositions, and consider wearability.

Badges are perfect for activism, fandoms, small businesses, or personal expression. Low cost per unit makes them great for gifts or selling. Create collections, trade with others, or start a badge-making side hustle. Simple craft with immediate wearable results. Popular at conventions, protests, and as promotional items.
