I have been wanting to acquire a button-maker for our makerspace, ArtSpace, but the $400+ ones from Demco are way out of my budget. I have seen others from the brands Vevor (Amazon, Home Depot, etc.) & We R Memory Keepers (Joann) & they are more in my budget.

Printing vendors /copy shops often have guillotine cutters that can cut/trim large stacks of paper -- many more than a traditional paper cutter in which multiple sheets may slide. Even if you printed at the library, you should be able to find a copy shop that will trim for a minimal fee. A print or design studio on campus may also have…[Read more]
