badge making
written instructions
materials;
-paper -wide tape (optional)
-printer -pencils (optional)
-scissors
-downloadable files
-sticky tape (transparent)
-a flat surface
-bone fold
-a brain (i use homo sapien sapien but homo habilis should work fine)
steps;
1. download downloadable files (included with your commission or free ones on my bases page) and print them out. i recommend the wallet size for keychains and half page for badges
2. colour your badge (if you chose the colouring files, otherwise you can skip this) and cut it out around the edge about half an inch from the outline.
3. put your image onto a flat surface and cover with sticky tape going one direction.
4. peel the paper and tape off the table (wooden tables work best) and flip it over. repeat step three and peel it off.
5. go along the edge of the tape with a bone fold to make sure its sealed properly.
6. cut around the tape, leave a 1/4 inch extra.
7. (optional) add jump rings, strings or anything else to make it into a necklace or keychain and youre finished!
this is the tutorial i base my method off, though they are quite different. i may make my own video someday but matters if i have the time.
