Make Your Own Chinese Name Button

Help me give my students button making supplies. I am a high school Chinese teacher. My students will learn to write their Chinese name. It would encourage learning to make a button badge of their name in characters.

My Project

In my Chinese class, my students will learn to write their Chinese names at the beginning of the school year. It's one of the most important part in Chinese culture to give yourself a meaningful Chinese name and be able to write the amazing beautiful character. As a teacher, I always look for fun creative ways to encourage my students to learn. Making a button badge of their Chinese names in Chinese character would not only encourage learning, but also build the students' confidence of advocating themselves. Please help us to get the button maker machine and the supplies. Thank you.
