So back in the 1980's (the early 1980's) I bought a "Badge a Minit" button maker. I used it a lot back then. I made all kinds of buttons and magnets with the kids pictures. All kinds of crafty good stuff. I paid about $25.00 or so for the start up kit. I haven't used it much in recent years so it is sitting all boxed up on the bottom of a very big pile of forgotten craft tools. Well, my friend Donna asked if buttons could be made for her son Adam's Disney wedding. I thought for sure that it could be done. What the bonus was is that with my new ZING (Mr. Plot-Tair) it was awesome easy crafty goodness!!!! And not just that, it breathed new life into a tool I already owned. I made the graphic in my DS2 software and imported it as a texture into MTC. MTC would have worked as well but I move much faster in DS2. The ZING has an awesome print and cut feature and it made quick work of making the buttons. I remember hand cutting the circles and never getting a perfect circle. Now I can cut a whole page. If Donna decides she wants these I will have to make about 100. I will format them on 12X12 paper and should be able to get 12 buttons to a sheet. How cool is that! I can't wait for Donna to see the buttons. I think she is going to love them.
