Ive seen these buttons on peoples hats and bags before. Some people say thet buy them at specialy stores with the pictures already on them, but I heard you can buy blank ones and print out pictures for them and put them in, does anyone know where I could buy those blank ones? i wanna make some furry buttons. :birdy:

For the type in the picture you posted, you need a specific machine to seal the picture into the button.
I remember my high-school anime club was saving up for such a machine when I left.
You sure? I was told you could buy buttons like that and they just clip in.
I believe what renwaldo was talking about was a button press, you require the button blanks, your image, and a sheet of clear plastic to be pressed together.
>.< doh
I make buttons actually. For around 350$ you can buy a good setup. Look for a Tecre button making machine; its high quality and makes buttons quickly.
You also need a hole puncher for the images.

I bought something similar to that. The whole puncher works like a charm. Than you need to make the actual buttons. Photoshop is the best way to do it.

OH yes! thats exactly what you would need, but its the size of the button that is the issue, these devices come in different sizes, so you have to also find a press compatable with your button. If you need photoshop templates, I have some I happen to have saved while I was in school.
Oohh tinpins.
yeah
there's a store in my town that makes them for like, 25c per pin, and i'm planning on making a ton, and maybe when BCF has itself an official logo (not kanan's head) then i'll make some with that logo and send it off to someone to share at a con or something..
since i can't go to the mainland more than once per forever :c
