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.
