Art: Make a Badge



My girl had a Girls Only Badge Maker for Christmas, so we decided to try it out one day.

It came with its own design sheets that you could cut out, but I decided to personalise it a bit by creating our own designs on the computer and print out in colour.

The badge diameter was a lot smaller than I'd expected, so I had to reduce my designs to fit. After 1-2 tries, we succeeded.



Later on, we got some of the kids to draw their own designs on a sheet of paper. I then scanned them in the computer, reduced the size and edited them to fit before printing them out.


Overall, a fun activity for all. Only problem is there are limited pieces — you can only make 24 button badges. I did write in to the supplier but they said they've since discontinued the product so I have to find my own refills. Also it would be better if I could get larger button badges as this one is really small.
