I can make you one. I would like to trade it for the 8 ball design I saw on your website. Do you have anymore?

Another NAM member did the design, and Cooper Flags made the badges.

This is my first design. I'm debating whether to have badges made from a second design I have. (It's more a question of $$$ than anything.)

I had mine made by Cooper Flags as well. The quality is well worth the price.

I had a design made up by cooperation, but had pretty good luck making up the badge myself. I printed the graphic on a 4x6 Kodak photo printer, stuck it to an adhesive magnet sheet and then punched it out using a 3" circle punch. Not has heavy duty as some commercial ones I have, but it's water proof and affordable.

How about making some up for trade? Also, I'd love to see the design.

Wow! Lots of interest in the punch! My wife and I got it at Michaels for around $20. She got it for Girl Scouts, but I've been using it for a higher purpose . Here's the manufacturer's site...

Oh, and here's the badge graphic I've been playing with...

I've seen the circle cutters at our local Michael's Crafts store. Is that the same as the punch, or is that a more industrial thing?

This punch was kind of like a great big three hole punch, only it's only got 1 hole, and it's 3" across. The only tricky part is that you kind of have to hold it upside down to make sure the graphic is centered properly, but it's not too hard to manipulate.
