Who this list is for
This checklist is for anyone running a button badge making table for a group of twenty guests, such as at a birthday party, club event, or youth gathering. It’s designed for hosts who want each person to make one 1.25-inch badge using a manual button maker, without running short on supplies or tools.
How to use this list
Set up the table with the 1.25-inch button maker at the center. Lay out the button components and pre-cut paper badge circles in small bowls for easy access. Give each guest a badge design template and provide colored pencils, fine-tip markers, and crayons for decorating. Place pencils and erasers nearby for sketching ideas. Clipboards help guests keep their work steady. After designing, guests cut out their badge art with scissors, then assemble the badge using the button maker. Display finished badges on the display cards for everyone to see.
Common mistakes
Hosts often forget to provide enough drawing supplies or miscount button components. Don’t underestimate how quickly colored pencils and markers get scattered or lost—have extras ready. Avoid using regular paper for badge art; pre-cut circles fit best and save time. Skipping a tabletop sign can leave guests confused about the activity. Not enough clipboards or bowls can slow things down and create clutter.
