Button Maker

Be mindful of copyright and use Public Domain, Creative Commons (CC0) or original images.  

Sources for Finding Images:

• Canva has multiple built in photo sources that contain Public Domain and Creative Commons images. The main "photos" tab in the designer includes Canva owned images. Pexels and Pixabay apps are also available from the "Apps" tab in the designer. I have personally used both of these.
• Google Image Search: Select "tools" > Usage Rights > Creative Commons License
• Wikipedia: Public domain image resources (This wiki is technically outdated, but I prefer the organization of this version to the newer one)
  • Try to use government, library, and museum sources if possible. These will be more reliable, academia focused, and safer to download images from.

Also, with our original purchase, we have access to digital downloads.

In an effort to tag the TCC Libraries on each of our buttons, Terri Ruffin at Chesapeake, made labels to affix to the back of the buttons.  The labels say:  TCC Libraries, www.tcc.edu/library.  There are two examples provided.  One is with Avery 5160 mailing labels and one is with Demco call number labels 1 1/2" x 7/8" w, 545770.  Terri said that the Demco labels were the easiest to use because there wasn't as much trimming necessary, but you got more labels per sheet with the Avery 5160.
