BUTTONS!! Specifically Pin Back buttons!

I am gonna start making them and possibly selling them.

So far I made these experimental ones:

(yay gym badges)
The Bolt Badge is printed on regular copy/print paper, the other two are on photo paper. The photo paper is too thick for the button maker to wrap the paper properly so I had to cut it smaller and the result was silver edges... :C

And tonight i made this (also on regular printer paper)

Which I will be giving to my sister :3

Whatchuthink?

I think selling buttons is a great idea. Because who doesn't like buttons?
I know I'm buying them anytime I see one I like.

I've been thinking about selling my artwork because I need the money. A week ago I really wanted to make bookmarks. So I think I might start doing that in the near future... I just need to get my self some ink for my printer and a laminator.

@Novii: Hells yes they are cool

@Sleepy: Dude I have paper that would be great for bookmarks!

It's 8 inches by 4 inches. Which you could print 2 bookmarks on then cut in half then laminate! (long ways so you wind up with an 8x2 bookmark). If you wanna try it I can mail you a few sheets since I got them free and I has a ton of them xD

I like the one on the right better.
But I can't really tell a quality difference.
