July FREE design of the month: Photoshop Button Template

Buttons are a great way to show your team spirit and how proud you are of your favorite sports player. Parents and grandparents LOVE them. So this month, due to overwhemling requests, I’ve created a special button template that can be used for all types of occasions.

You may be asking, “How do I make a button?”

I’m glad you asked! Some people do buy button machines, but if you are not ready for that kind of investment, you can have them created at many printing labs including MPIX. Or you can buy empty button holders at Oriental Trading, craft stores like Hobby Lobby and even some Walgreen stores.
