  Step 1

  First, gather whatever old badges you have lying around.

• Step 2

  *OPTIONAL*: If the image is too small, you can still see bits of the original badge around it. So I spray-painted mine black. But, this is entirely up to you.

• Step 3

  Measure the pins, and then tweak your images to fit them. I printed all of mine off the computer, so adjusting them to the right sizes was easy.

• Step 4

  Lay your badge face-down on the image, getting the placement how you want it. Trace around the badge, then cut out the image.

• Step 5

  Add a layer of Mod Podge to the badge, making sure you get the edges, too.

• Step 6

  Place your image on the badge, and carefully press on it, making sure no wrinkles or air bubbles form. If the image is just a little too big, carefully press the edges of the image around the edge of pin.

• Step 7

  Add a layer of Mod Podge over the image, and let dry. (Again, don't forget the edges)

• Step 8

  Viola! You now have your own unique, one-of-a-kind badges. Stick them onto whatever you want and show them off.
