    I’m here for it! Been making a bunch of stuff lately, legwarmers, bracelets, and pins. Went shopping for materials to make some custom can badges for an ita bag.

        They are button badges that you can put a custom image inside of. Some folks use it for a favorite anime character, tv show, etc. Lots of people make and sell custom badges on Etsy but if you have a craft store or a Daiso store nearby, you can also make them yourself.

        I bought a badge kit yesterday along with some other materials.

        Or if you plan on making a lot of them to sell at a con, you can get machine like this one.

          Oh, right! I’ve never heard them called can badges before. We have a press at the local makerspace.

            Nice! I didn’t know that either until I started learning about oshikatsu crafting techniques.
