Create pinback buttons with any image or photo!

PART ONE: Create Your Design

  1. Upload your image.

  2. Click and drag image to the center of the circle (image frame).

  3. To print: Share and download your design as a .pdf.

  4. If you’re working on an EDGE Lab computer: open the .pdf and send it to the Canon UniFlow printer. Then, go to the printer to retrieve your print. (Follow instructions on the printer to log in & print.)

    • If you logged onto the computer with the EDGE lab account, you’ll use the code 381 to log into the printer.

  5. If you’re working on your Chromebook, email the .pdf to yourself and log in to an EDGE Lab computer to print.

  6. Once you’ve got your design printed, bring it to the EDGE Lab to use the button press.
