Thank you for showing what glue to use and how you lay it down to dry! This video was super helpful.

[@ameliaashley9986]

Aww! I'm so glad it helped someone.

Great video! I'm going to be making a few of these for a friend to give to her nursing unit!

[@smariegonzalez8617]

THANK YOU!!! JUST MADE A BUNCH FOR MY COWORKERS!!!

[@MommyLuzTV]

I love this! thanks for sharing!

[@thekraftekatt61]

Loved this video. Thank you for sharing. I have been wanting to make badge reels but did not know where to start.

[@ameliaashley9986]

You can do it! I'm glad it was helpful

[@brynnsmith6497]

This helps so much! Do you have to have any specific ink in the printer to print these off? If we have no way to print what can we use in the reels? What kind of paper/material won’t work? My teens are wanting to make some and don’t have printing abilities when I’m not home during the day when they’re out of school.

[@MrsPursi]

Thank you for sharing. What Resin do you use?

[@denisesoto7113]

I just caught your video and my daughter and I have decided to make them for her teachers as Christmas gifts. The question I have for you is do you use a specific shop on Etsy to purchase the digital file? Once you have chosen the image, how do you scale it down to a 1 inch circle?

[@CP-kf8bw]

Do you mind sharing what company you use on Amazon to buy your badge reels? Also, do you think the bottle caps would make cute earrings?

[@marthaosborne4763]

Thank you for this video Amelia. What type of printer do you use? Also, what is the link to your etsy store?

[@juliannesoto6230]

Amelia Does ir have to be photo paper and a specific printer to use??? Can a regular printer be used??? Thank you

[@6345789picket]

Great video! Nice nails too

[@ameliaashley9986]

Thank you so much!! Let me know if you’d like a free dry nail polish sample :)

[@pajhawj5289]

U buy the print on Etsy and print from home or do they send it to u in the 4x6 print ???

[@iiMontiee1]

Hello! Thank you for this wonderful tutorial. Do you have a video showing everything we need ?

[@angieskitchenpastriescooki6758]

Do you use the up light for your badges when you put the resen

[@andreaz1478]

How can I remove the design from the actual badge reel? I wanted the alligator clip but received the slip clip badge reel. Please help, thank you!

[@jenniferh9434]

Great videos! You make it seem so simple and easy! I was wondering if there's a difference between epoxy dome and glass dome stickers? I'm a nurse and wanted to make a few for friends. Needed something that's durable with wiping/washing. Thanks!

[@ameliaashley9986]

Jen Gordon Hi Jen! I’ve never used the glass domes, because in my opinion theyre more fragile than the epoxy domes. I wipe my epoxy dome badges with sani wipes all the time at work and they’ve held up. I’m an Eeg tech in a hospital :)

[@dtharge4082]

Can you use fabric to match a lanyard?

[@jalynnrico5264]

What type or printer do you use? I noticed my images come out blurry. The. images also bleed when we used E600. :(

[@teliahgaston7194]

Hey how do you print the circles on the photo paper?

[@callmeevo8037]

What kind of paper

[@oteviastrozier8976]

What kind of printer you use?

[@chiquititaofthecentury5549]

Thank you for this :)

[@lindacalarco3503]

Why does mine get blurry, like there’s condensation? I know it can’t be that because of the paper being right up against the clear disc. And i can’t wipe it away. Please help!

[@Janalynn31]

How do you get the image to pop out

[@callmeevo8037]

Can you please send me a list of the supplies

[@Malexxx29]

Can I use another glue for this? Like hot glue or super glue?

[@ivanconrado7113]

Where is the link ?

[@theresamarlett8605]

Can you do this without using bottlecap?

[@lovelies2]

Any ideas why my image under the epoxy is cloudy??

[@gabbysandoval3425]

😊👍 thank you...

[@silviahkitty15]

❤️

[@tinabearden4641]

How can I order from you?

[@savesoulsnotgold7867]

Can you do a video on how to print the images on photo paper

[@badgesbylinds5153]

Loved the video. I have a question I make badge reels as well. Sometimes when I put the E6000 on the bottlecap and adhear the photo image to the bottlecap. It goes through the image and makes the image look different like the E6000 leaked through the image. It's hard to explain would there be a fix for that?

[@AprilGThatsSewApril]

I just had this same issue! Ugh!

[@eltonpaul3612]

I heard it's the quality of paper you use. if you use a good brand it doesn't do that. A cheaper not to good quality of paper it will mess with the image. I know what you're talking about it's done the same to me too, ugh! so, I use good paper and I have no issues no more. If you're already using a good brand, I have no idea. it's what I was told, and I switch up.

[@angelicawilliams1511]

Hello do you still make these and sell them?

[@ebonybailey-jackson4423]

What paper did you use to print out the pictures? Great job!

[@extra_chicken4353]

Photo paper

[@vanessarivera4968]

Thank you so much my 8 year old wants to start making badges to earn money but we didn’t know where to start

[@Designsbyizzi]

Can you show how do you package them. Thank you.

[@ameliaashley9986]

Of course! I have a few orders to ship out tomorrow evening and I'll do a quick video :)

[@Designsbyizzi]

@@ameliaashley9986 awesome, thank you

[@CottageontheCorner]

Very nice of you to share how to make those. You have to be careful selling anything like a logo that is copyright or trademark protected though. The shop you bought the logos from shouldn't be selling the logos either. Etsy can be quick to close a shop if there is a complaint.

[@ameliaashley9986]

Business Minded Mom thank you!

[@tierramartin4303]

Hi do you mind sharing what etsy shop you get you images from?

[@ameliaashley9986]

Of course love! I search "one inch circle images" on Etsy to find images. Designsbypm is my favorite shop. She is wonderful!

[@monawoods4166]

What do I look up to find the graphic design?

[@lindseydaniella]

Finally found it: Bottle cap images.

[@judym.174]

Hi! What printer would you recommend to use??

[@ameliaashley9986]

Hi Judy! I have an HP all in one and LOVEEE it. This is the one I have. They have more expensive models too but this works perfectly for me. amzn.to/3fvBQvm

[@cayleighhoover3347]

Hi! I was wondering how much product costs, time/effort, and how much you sell them for? Are they a popular sell? just wondering if it would be worth starting up a business for it? Im looking at making a side hustle. I want to retire early LOL

[@ameliaashley9986]

Lol totally understand! Product costs vary but in general it’s a relatively quick and easy product to make! I love having it as my side hustle but honestly I make way more money with Color Street and you don’t have to make anything. Like if someone orders 10 badges I have to go home and make 10 badges, but if someone orders 10 nail strip sets, they ship directly from the warehouse. You don’t have to house inventory or ship anything and they pay weekly! Let me know if you have any questions on the badge reels or color Street. If you’ve never tried it I would love to send you a free sample!

[@kimberlyblack8904]

So I tried these... and idk if it's my photo paper or too much glue but they went opaque when the glue started drying... any advice

[@ameliaashley9986]

Hmm... sounds like too much glue but just to be sure, what kind of paper were you using?

[@kimberlyblack8904]

@@ameliaashley9986 photo paper... that's what I was thinking too... but I make tumblers so I was thinking or trying printable vinyl or sticker paper

[@ameliaashley9986]

Kimmie Cupz great idea!! Or try a different glue? That’s so strange. I’ve never had that happen.

[@kimberlyblack8904]

@@ameliaashley9986 I may have used too much 😂😂😂 got excited they all didn't do that so that has to be it!

[@elinoraflores7207]

Mine went through as well with photo paper I’m trying printable vinyl to see if that makes it better

[@doloresgonzalez7999]

Can u show the link please

[@ameliaashley9986]

Lola Gonzalez which link?

[@zunairapatel4071]

I wish I could make this I just wish I’d make a rainbow with letter z on it lol

Would be so better if they made them slow retract so I’m not always wipping myself
