How can I make badges for children who come to our camp?
I don’t have one of those badge-making presses, but want to give an official-looking badge to children who come to the Junior Sugarmaker Camp at our maple syrup operation.
I need something relatively inexpensive that I can craft or make for about 50 kids.

Create them using “MS Word” and “PowerPoint”, then save them as JPEG. Print them in sticker paper, the one that it’s only one per sheet, so you can cut them in the same you want. You will be able to find all kind of graphic art themes over the internet to decorate them.
You can use the computer to design as already suggested.
If you want you can do a soft lamination. Scotch as in the scotch tape brand has sheets that you can purchase at office supply stores then just purchase pin backs and glue those on.
If you know someone who is into scrapbooking or paper crafting they may have Xyron machine which does soft lamination. The one I have can do a sheet up to 12″ wide. This company also sells sheets for the machine that are lamination on one side and adhesive on the other. You might want to check with stamp or scrapbook stores in your area as they might have one you could use for a fee.
Another alternative is do use the lamination but instead of a pin back you could use a hole punch and string yarn through the hole so the badge can be worn around the neck.
If you have an Office Max or Office Depot in your area they are also be able to laminate the badges for you.
Hope this helps!
