      Easy to make. You just need some sharpies, the dink sheets, and a hole punch. I like making tiny monsters for the most part and I sell them at a local vintage store. A real advantage of using shrinky dinks is the fact that you can be more detailed with your drawing, and when it shrinks down, you still have that intricate detail. It's a great effect

      Here was one of my first tries in 2010:

      I made these larger guys a few months later:

      And just last week I was trying something different. This is what I call my Great Americans series: Robocop, Andy Warhol, Weird Al, Cookie Monster, and John Hodgman.

      Well, you could just have one hole and then loop the thread around the sides of the button. Red thread would complement such a button quite well.

      Luchadores! Brilliant! I've done a couple clowns but they always freak me out.

      Thanks!

      haha. it is. not sure what use a button wi a big hole in it would be? but aesthetically it makes me smile. These are a great idea. A whole bunch of Mexican hooded wrestlers would look fab as well. Clowns traditionally draw there masks onto an egg and submit them (maybe a British tradition?) Clown buttons... now that's funny. Keep up the sterling work my friend! A
