Student Athlete Photo Button



Anyone who has ever been to a school athletic event has seen proud parents wearing these kind of photo buttons.  Usually the buttons come from the photographer, but my buttons are special because I will customize the photo and the text.  You can order these buttons from my Etsy shop.

Military Member Buttons


I just uploaded a new photo button to my Etsy shop.  I have sold a lot of buttons over the years.  Kids love to have these buttons to remember a parent who is deployed, and proud moms and dads love to have them as well.

Look for them on Etsy - http://www.etsy.com/listing/57383904/military-member-photo-button

Buttons for a memorial

My last post was about how young people like these photo buttons and magnets to remember their friends.  Today I am making buttons and magnets for a high school student.  One of her friends died last week and she wanted just a few buttons and magnets to share.  It's very sad, but I like making the buttons because they can last for a long time.

Custom Photo Buttons for Memorial Services

I am often asked to make custom photo buttons for memorial services and funerals.  Often, the person was very popular, a young person or a coach or something like that.  Young people, especially, like these buttons as a keepsake.  I can make an individual buttons or hundreds, I don't care.

The buttons can be made with a pinback or I can make magnet back buttons for sticking on the refrigerator.

Look for me on Etsy, my shop is called buttonmama, or email me at buttonmama@gmail.com.

More Rave Reviews

I was delighted to find a thank you card in my mail this morning -

Thanks so much for the wonderful buttons you made for our 106th birthday.  They helped make the day!

I appreciate your extra effort working with my sister, Judy, to get them to us on time.  They will be treasured by the big family here in California as well as the many relatives in Holland.

We're so Happy!

My first Etsy sale and my first rave review!


I made 50 3" inch photo buttons and 50 magnets for her 106th birthday party.  Here is the review that the buyer left for me -

I can't say enough nice things about buttonmama! Not only was she extremely helpful by communicating back and forth with me until I finally decided what I wanted to order for the 106th birthday celebration we were planning, but she also worked within our time frame and got the order to us quickly. I really appreciated everything she did. The buttons are professionally done and they were a BIG hit at the party! So many people came up to us and commented how happy they were to have such a wonderful memento to take home with them. In a nutshell: these buttons were one of the things that MADE the party and I would HIGHLY recommend buttonmama! I will definitely order from her again.
