What better way to welcome Spring this than year with a button contest. Anna has a fascination with buttons, so she drew up a bunch of designs for me to cut out for her craft room.
Converting Anna’s drawings into workable 3D designs and then cutting them out on our CNC was so much fun that I went a little crazy with the idea. I ended up creating around 30 different 3D button designs and so far I’ve successfully cut out close to a dozen of them.
- Fill out the form above (This will inform us that you are interested in joining the contest. It will also add you to our “Button Design Contest” list, which allows us to send updates about the contest.
- Optional: Follow BurchBuilt on Instagram and/or Facebook (we’d appreciate it; hopefully you enjoy our projects too).
- Create and submit a rough sketch of your button design(s). To create a 3D rendering of your button design, we need the following:
- A bird’s-eye view (As pictured)
- A sliced view; sometimes it’s necessary to create multiple sliced views (As pictured)
- Dimension details – It’s helpful to add other dimensions within the sketch. If no dimensions are provided, I’ll make my best guess.
- Number of holes and hole placement
- A bird’s-eye view (As pictured)
