CreditThanks to Jen Davis for making the labels that I then made a badge from.

Lisa,
I saved the button, but it would not let me type in my name in the banner. Am I doing something wrong?

You can create another text box, put your name (or chefsuccess name) in that box and then put over top of the banner.

I made one for me and for Grandmarita (don't tell her ;) ) since she's sharing my room at conference. I don't have a button maker but I do have a laminator so what I did was print out the buttons with our names on them and laminate them. I will attach each to a button that I have collected but don't use much with the 2 sided tape you use to scrapbook. Works great and then we can reuse the buttons later.
 
Thanks Beth! I don't have a button maker either, so I will use an old button (if I can find one) and tape my Cheffer name to the button.

Buttons at Michaels for $1.24 eachHi all,
Just wanted to let you know, in the Children's craft section they have the buttons and they are (at least here) $1.24 each.

Thanks, Beth for answering about the Text Box

AH, You're welcome, but I STILL didn't find ANY buttons at my stupid WalMart so I am going to have to stick with stickers, lol.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What does it mean to make a badge using another label?

Making a badge using another label refers to the process of creating a visual representation or identifier for your direct sales business, often using a pre-existing label template or design. This can help in branding and promoting your products effectively.

Why can't I use just any label for my badge?

Not all labels are suitable for badge creation due to differences in size, design, and material. Using a label that is not specifically designed for badges may result in poor print quality or a badge that does not adhere properly.

What should I consider when choosing a label for my badge?

When selecting a label for your badge, consider the size, adhesive quality, print compatibility, and design options. Ensure that the label can accommodate your badge's text and images clearly and attractively.

Can I customize the label for my badge?

Yes, many label providers offer customization options, allowing you to add your logo, colors, and specific text to create a unique badge that represents your brand effectively.

What if my badge doesn't print correctly using the other label?

If your badge doesn't print correctly, check the printer settings, ensure the label is loaded properly, and verify that the label type is compatible with your printer. You may also want to try a different label or design template to see if that resolves the issue.
