Visitors to the Yellowstone Art & Photography Center this year had the opportunity to create their very own Yellowstone and nature inspired buttons. The YA&PC hosted a number of family-friendly art activities throughout the summer, and this creative button-making exercise was an absolute favorite.

Though we were able to create classic hard-surfaced buttons in the center, paper versions proved just as fun. Thus, by popular demand, we created printout paper versions of the buttons for you/your family to be able to create on your own at home!

To begin creating your buttons, simply click on the sample button to the right. Print the two-page document (single pages, not front-and-back), follow the directions, add your unique artistic vision, and, voila, you’ve created your very own button masterpiece! There are eight designs to choose from. Wear the buttons proudly on your clothes, pin them to a backpack, or place anywhere you want to show-off your special design.

See samples of the buttons below for some artistic inspiration.
