1. Why buttons are so popular in summer
- Interactive DIY station: Children (and adults) love getting stuck in – crafting together at the station is great fun and encourages interaction.
- Unforgettable memories: Each badge is attached straight away – to a T-shirt, rucksack or sun hat – and stays with the children all day long.
- Simple & flexible: Whether 25 mm, 37 mm or 50 mm – we offer a range of sizes that are ideal for different age groups and occasions.

- Press and you’re done: 3–5 seconds of pressure – and your personalised button is ready!
4. Ideas for using them at events
- Nursery & School Fete: Encouraging young artists to create their own works of art.
- Summer parties & town festivals: Engage with guests in person – badges as conversation starters or souvenirs.
- Corporate events: Personalised name badges or gift promotions for staff and visitors.
5. Inspiration & Ideas
Our recent event at the ‘Long Night of Art’ in Pfaffenhofen was a real success: children celebrated their own designs – and inspired local artists such as Jim Avignon. Real proof of the impact of creative DIY! 🎨
