Fiskars makes a nice circle cutter. You could get the magnetic material at a sign shop in sheets and make some custom badges. Not sure how you would laminate them though. Maybe just spraying them with acrylic spray would be enough, especially since you can always make yourself a new one.

The only problem with this, and I'm not discouraging folks from making their own badges, is that you most likely would print it on paper on your home printer and the ink would not last very long in the sun.

Like I said:

I'm trying to think back to when I actually said this was a skill of mine. If I did, then I apologize for the mislead.

Edit: You must be making reference to my comment on the 3" hole punch, which I do not own or even know if it works.

Trinity07 got one of our very first badges before they were for sale, however the one that she has is availabe now in 4 colors in our boutique!

I didn't forget about you Jeremy. Your pre-order might even ship a little bit earlier than our projected ship date of 7/22. Yippee!!!!

Are you talking about a magnetic grill badge? I couldn't find one in the thread and would like to get one.

I have read about situations where some shipments have gotten lost in the mail. I'd keep trying to get in touch.

Good luck.

Has this been taken care of yet? I know that Todd shut down manufacturing and shipping for a week while he was moving. However your order should have been shipped out before then.

I can probably come up with something and see if you like it.

going to MITM though so it would only give me a few days to work on it.
