Who loves 1" pin-back buttons? I know I do and I have a HUGE collection. The cute buttons can be used to promote a company (like Swap-bot), a band, or just used as a sweet accessory on jackets and bags.

My favorite place to order the pin-back buttons I design is Busy Beaver Button Co. I have been ordering from Busy Beaver for years for both personal designs and Swap-bot buttons. I love their quality and their awesome customer service, so I was excited when they expressed interest in sponsoring a button swap on the 'bot!

buttons

For this fun and easy Busy Beaver Button Swap, simply send your one partner three pin-back buttons. My intention is that we all send buttons that are one-inch in diameter, but other sizes are acceptable if you have something awesome to share. The buttons can come from your personal collection, or you can purchase new buttons for this swap. Try to check out your partner's profile and send them buttons that match their interests. New and experienced members are welcome in this swap, but I will remove anyone with recent 1 or 3 ratings and those without filled-out profile pages.

You can purchase buttons designed by independent artists from places like Etsy.com, or you can design your own and order them from Busy Beaver Button Co. Busy Beaver is also sponsoring an awesome giveaway in conjunction with this swap. Check out the giveaway announcement on the Swap-bot blog to enter to win 100 custom buttons!

Where can you get the swap-bot logo buttons & other swap-bot logo items? They are so cute.

racheljohnson 04/ 7/2010 #

Thanks for asking about the buttons, @SDCarter . I send them in all my swap packages, AND we are also going to opening a little Swap-bot store in the next few weeks where you will be able to purchase Swap-bot goodies and help support the site. Stay tuned! :)

Yay! I've been hoping for a Swap-bot store. I have no doubt that members will shop and give lots of support. I adore my SB swag that @racheljohnson sent me. The buttons are super cute!

Bartering buttons is a dream come true for Busy Beaver! Thanks for all the kind words, everyone, and to Swap-Bot for their support.

The Busy Beaver Button-Makers signed up for the swap (there's a bunch of us here in Chicago), so you'll definitely see some cool pins coming your way!

Can we buy from anywhere, or is it just from Busy Beaver or Etsy?

DancingNancy 04/17/2010 #

Can we send handmade ones? I have been working in recyled materials and making buttons from bottle caps!

racheljohnson 04/21/2010 #

Hi all - you can get your buttons from anywhere... they can be from your stash or bought new. I personally think that handmade buttons would be fine for this swap, but contact your partner first before sending that type of button. Some people specifically collect the normal style 1" pinback buttons...

Thanks to everyone or joining this swap! I am excited for it to begin!

xoxo

my partners profile has no information at all, so I guess they will get 3 random buttons.

kawaiibuttons 04/24/2010 #

ooohh! would love a swapbot store ♥

BusyBeaverButtons 04/26/2010 #

Thanks for your participation, everyone! This is awesome.

Buttons are en route to my partner. Enjoy!

racheljohnson 05/ 3/2010 #

So... the send deadline is passed and a handful of people have not marked as sent yet. Let me know if you have any trouble or if you are running late. I will angel, but I hope that everyone will send!

Still waiting on one of my items to arrive, so I can send it on to my partner. Contacted coordinator and partner on 4/30. Will ship asap! :)

gguterrez 05/ 4/2010 #

I sent mine last thursday, I have just now gotten to my computer to be able to mark it! I'm sorry!

gcrecords 05/ 5/2010 #

I sent mine too, I'm a new user though, and have NO idea how to mark it sent.

racheljohnson 05/ 6/2010 #

The "sent" link is at the top of the list in the yellow option box in the upper right corner of this page. Simply click the link to mark this swap as sent.
