The first thing you need to do is cover your gum wrappers so they don't tear or get soggy in the rain! I used plastic laminating film which you use for covering books but clear packaging tape would work fine too!

Now you need to stick all the wrappers together, I used a glue gun for this but if you don't have one then just sew it all together instead. Take your first wrapper & pop a bit of glue in the centre & then place the next wrapper on top so it forms a cross & leave to dry. Basically repeat this until you've glued all the wrappers together in a rosette-like pattern.

Now place quite a big blog of glue on top of your final wrapper and squish your button down on top of it & leave to dry. Now flip your badge over & do the same with your badge back

Now wear your minty fresh badge with pride!
