So much yarn, so little time.: What if Etsy was a grocery store...
So much yarn, so little time.: What if Etsy was a grocery store...: "Many of us type 'LOL' fairly regularly, but every now and then I truly *do* Laugh Out Loud. When I recovered, I asked Jen of ArtmakersWorld..."

The Making of a Map Button
My map buttons are made from actual maps. Get a piece of the world in your very own button for ONLY $2.50.
This is how they are made. My customer paid for this listing on my Portable Graffiti Zibbet shop. She requested a button with Zadar, Croatia. I searched through my big tub filled with maps until I found this map.
I located Zadar, Croatia.....
See, there it is......
I line my trusty circle cutter up so Zadar is in the center....
...and I cut it out.
Here's the finished button....
....and the back of the button.
Each button gets packed in a cello bag to protect it.
I grab a padded mailing envelope, the other buttons and magnets that my customer ordered, one of my "thank you" business cards, a Portable Graffiti button, and a Zibbet button, to promote Zibbet.
Everything goes into the envelope and gets weighed...
I print out a Pay Pal mailing label and pay the postage on line.
I attach it to the envelope and it's ready to ship.
What place in the world would you like in your button?
Prefer a magnet or a mirror?
Just ask.
I make 4 sizes.

Portable Graffiti's Last Year at Shows
It takes years to get a craft booth set up just the way you want it. Just found these photos taken in 1989 or 90, the last year we did shows with the buttons.
Making Product Tags
Need product tags?
Get them on Zibbet at Portable Graffiti Graphics.
Each circle is cut individually and holes are punched one by one.
Cute Rubber Duckies Found on Zibbet
This is going to be a well-loved gift. I found this awesome bib set on Zibbet at Comfie Cozie Creations.
They came wrapped in pretty tissue and a cute thank you sticker. They are cotton on one side and terry on the other side. One has a pocket. They are made really well. And I am glad I purchased them.
