handmade set of badges by Loglike for Folksy.com

The Folksy folk commissioned us to design and make a set of badges, just for them. They’re now available in the new, Folksy showcase-shop priced at £3.95.

shamrock sketch in brown pencil for Folksy

Being long-term admirers of the charming labels found on vintage spools of thread, we were inspired to wonder what they would look like if Folksy had been a vintage brand of thread…

Old vintage spools of cotton thread

We did several sketches in coloured pencil, before we had the final artwork, which we printed out and pressed by hand into cute little pinback-badges.

The packaging is similar to our other badge sets, available in our own shop on Folksy. It’s made from 100% recycled card and felted wool.

Label from a duck egg blue, vintage wool blanket

Usually we use recycled wool jumpers, but this time we used a lovely duck-egg blue all-wool blanket from the 1930s/40s.

special edition rubber stamp

We also made our own ‘special edition’ labels for the packets. Hope you like them!
