And the final product. 122 tiny badges, suitable for keychains and similar.

# data[].attributes.body
These 4 took a while, even though they were supposed to be simpler. I'll send them out to their new owners soon.

# data[].attributes.body
Added a piece of fabric as a backing for easier sewing on a scout uniform... and I found the perfect little deco-cog for the upper right corner in my stash :)

# data[].attributes.body
The square worked out nicely, but the tiny VCP logo, on a yellow split pin caused grey hairs... no matter how I pre-coated the pin, a permanent marker would not stick to it. Tried to varnish the logo, but that also just made it smudge... In the end I had to paint it with acrylic paints instead. Less neat, but at least it sticks.

# data[].attributes.body
My "tiny" badge is done!!!

# data[].attributes.body
Ready for baking. There's 88 slices on the tile, and I still have cane enough for 30-40 more.

# data[].attributes.body
burnt wooden badges

# data[].attributes.body
One more, because I got the border on. Now I'll stop posting half hour updates.

# data[].attributes.body
Still not completely done, but this is as far as I will get anytime soon.

# data[].attributes.body
And a picture of my embroidered badge without anything around.

# data[].attributes.body
The hard part is done. Within half an hour I should have a proper slice.

# data[].attributes.body
Almost finished badge
First drawing on cotton, colouring and then embroidery

# data[].attributes.body
Haven't done anything with square stitch since my WS 2015...

My big badge for so far, it was to big to finish. I included the pattern and hope to show a picture of a finished badge later this week. The smaller ones I placed next to my laptop!!!

# data[].attributes.body
Starting to make it nicer by embroidery

# data[].attributes.body
Finished my embroidery badge during scouting cafe.

# data[].attributes.body
It's starting to look like something. I'll get everything to size before putting them together.

# data[].attributes.body
Polymer clay/ Fimo. I have never made a cane this complex before.

# data[].attributes.body
Finishing up...

# data[].attributes.body
Finished!

# data[].attributes.body
With border

# data[].attributes.body
I'm distinctly low on craft supplies because I'm not home, so my colour scheme is going to be a bit off...

# data[].attributes.body
I've cut up some old pants and sew the edges during chatting time. The colours I got in a backstreet transaction with my local crafts dealer. I'll do the last one tomorrow.

# data[].attributes.body
Made with a plotter.

# data[].attributes.body
And I'm done! It's a tiny bit bigger than I would have liked, but otherwise I'm quite pleased. With a slight pattern in the background and a few different colors on the virus, I don't think it looks plain at all, despite the fairly simple pattern.

# data[].attributes.headline
done! It looks different, and I am not sure if I can attach it to my uniform, but it was fun. thanks for the guidance!

I might add the VCP logo later

Just the border left.

# data[].attributes.body
This I want to try sometime this week

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.title
How to put pictures on t-shirts without transfer paper!

# data[].attributes.body
The colours run but I can fix that by embroidery. Tonight next step

# data[].attributes.body
Now I can start colouring

# data[].attributes.body
Next step

# data[].attributes.body
Changing of plans. I could not find the lino to make a catting to use it as a stamp. So now I'm drawing it on cotton, collouring it and perhaps make it pretty with some embroidery.

# data[].attributes.body
Another version of our badge coming up... this one is way more relaxing to make :)

# data[].attributes.body
First part done, and I've gotten quite good at French knots.

# data[].attributes.body
Turns out I don't have a lot of bright colours suitable for leather around at home... oh well, time to improvise!

# data[].attributes.body
Making a pattern, but man even my uniform isn't big enough for this badge. 200 by 94 stitches. Hmmm

# data[].attributes.body
I will try not to use this as an excuse to buy more tread...

# data[].attributes.body
Just picked out some leftovers of previous projects. Now I have to decide pink or purple for the edge.

# data[].attributes.body
Maybe I also start with some embroidery. Let's see if these materials that I found at home will work.

# data[].attributes.body
I got started :) Here's the documentation of my first 30 minutes of crafting with leather for the first time since...um... my IMWe leather workshop back in 2010?

# data[].attributes.body
In this column we will collect patterns as well as suggestions for materials, techniques and tools.

If you want to contact me, just send a mail to julia.falt[at]gmail.com!

# data[].attributes.body
For many crafts, a "pixel" version of the pattern might come in handy. Here are three early attempts, not yet tested...
The topmost one (34x16 pixels) should fit a rather tightly woven cross stitch fabric that I found at home
The middle and lower ones (27x18 pixels) could be used for beading with small glass beads. The relation width/height is different, because the glass beads are wider than they are high (but these pixels are square).

# data[].attributes.body
Reached my goal, though a couple of days after IMWe... three badges, one in leather, one in cross-stitch and a third one woven with beads.

# data[].attributes.body
The topmost picture shows the badge as it would be produced for a regular IMWe. The size of our embroidered badges is 6,37x3,00 cm.

The two lower pictures show possible simplifications of the intricate VCP logo.

The picture was kept very simple this year, and only uses three colours (and a larger than regular font) to make it easy to adapt for different crafts.

The original challenge is to reproduce the pattern below with any craft you may choose... but if you want to, you can also freely modify the badge or make your completely own design!
