So. My weekly 10 second check of the Arts & Crafts section of our local Craigslist has been validated! I am now the proud owner of a Mr. Button Bench Press button maker! How much you ask? FIVE DOLLARS!

So, either something is broken, it’s missing a part or it was just one happy crafster contributing to another happy crafster!Either way. I’m ecstatic! I’ve dreamed of button makers, every year around my birthday, I always look at them, and dream (but they are so darn expensive) of hours spent pressing buttons.

After a couple of hours of internet sleuthing and talking to the Badge-A-Minit company, I deduced that it wasn’t an old retro Badge-A-Minit, but actually a Mr. Button! Thanks in part mostly to this website and their great photo’s of old button badge makers! So, now I’m just a UPS ground shipment away from making my own buttons! That is, if I can figure out how it works!

Here are my first few ideas about button slogans…

Vote for Pedro.

Eat Local.

Grow your own food.

I Love Cheese.

Monsters are actually nice.

Walk your dog.

Peace.
