Oh nice!! This would be much cheaper and easier than resin. Are they the right size?

You can buy Dr. Who "inspired" buttons on the web, but they are only 1.5 inches.
I don't know the right size, but I thought it should be bigger. These measure roughly 2.5 inches from edge to edge.

Where else can you get 4 props for $1.20 total??
I don't know if Michaels had other sizes, I didn't see them, but these were just hanging on a Wing grid. I don't think that was their normal home.

The make-your-own badge thing is exactly how I'm planning on doing mine (I've drawn out most of the emoji as vectors)
Over at the Tardis Builders forum, someone with an eye for these things pegged the size as ~5cm - which is as near to 2.5" as makes no difference

Those definitely look like a pretty good size!! Thanks for sharing!!
No problem. It's funny how the mind works. These must have been there the dozens of times I've been to Michaels, and yet I've never noticed them. But then this episode airs, and they jumped right out at me. I see the package says 2.25 inches.....but there's a bit of a border, so they're just a bit bigger.
I printed these at 60mm and that turned out good.

Emoji Button 2.0
This is still with the button holders from Michaels, but I removed the pin backs and just used 2 FRONTS. I used a washer, 60mm (metric from the internet) and put an emoji on BOTH sides of the washer. The washer fits perfectly in the two fronts and I glued them together. I then used a magnetic strip from a magnetic name badge holder (Office Depot / Staples)
and I can flip the emoji over instantly and get a different emoji. The washer inside the button sticks to the magnetic strip inside my shirt. You kinda have to hold the magnet strip in place while you flip the emoji over, but it's still cool to change emojis on the fly.

Now that's a brilliant solution! I'm still keeping my eyes open for those badge kits in the shops around here.

Hello all,
Love the new sonic screwdriver for Capaldi, but I feel it needs a tweak. Feels visually bulky and implies functionality that isn't used.
The hinges seems like an after thought and seem overly complex.
Here are two design tweak ideas I was thinking about augmenting. What are your thoughts?
