Button Making Request Process (Over 250 Buttons/Keychains OR Custom Materials)

1. Contact the studio for ordering materials; after the 250 button point, it becomes more financially feasible for your organization or department to purchase the supplies. You will need to contact Amanda Glenn-Bradley, User Engagement Librarian, for information on how to order the materials and where to order them from. Only approved supplies can be utilized on our equipment! This ensures that they are both compatible and of a high enough quality that it will not damage our equipment.
