Wow, I really like these. I was looking for ways to create custom vinyl static sheets for my D&D monster case, the one that has the plastic pieces you can stick the vinyl onto for different encounters. Yea, I really like those, so I wanted to find a way to make my own. These seem to be much easier to work with. Thanks a lot for the video.

I'm having an amazing time making tokens after you taught me, but I can never get stuff to look bright enough unless I go to a Print Shop. So what do I have to get if I want to make really REALLY colorful stuff at home??? Thank you so much!! You're an inspiration :)

I am going to try finding something else for a backing but you can just use 2 part apoxie for the front. I'm 90% sure the surface tension would make it a nice bubble shape as long as you don't pour too much too fast.

This is an excellent idea! How could this be applied for tokens with two sides? Could the hole punch be used on 3/16" foamcore and then glued to the paper and finally the epoxy disc gets set on either side?
@JPCoovert 3 ай бұрын
Try it!
@josephlevin 2 ай бұрын
For two sided tokens, I used double-adhesive gel discs from Amazon. Works pretty well. Using 1.5" dome stickers works very well by using two stickers back to back or by using clear acrylic discs for a backer. I have a question about the dome stickers- sometimes they are a bit tacky on their non-glue sides. I've tried soap and water to attempt to fix that, without success. Have you experienced this? If so, do you have a good solution to decrease or fix the tackiness of the finished side? Thanks! @@JPCoovert

Just a small idea if you want to avoid actual magnets; you can buy metal or plastic washers from any hardware store at just about any size you want. also, a pack of 100 1" plastic washers runs 10$-20$ on amazon if you don't mind them being light weight
@JPCoovert 2 жыл бұрын
Good tip! I wanted something with adhesive already on it, but maybe there's another way to stick the paper to the washers? Sticker paper I guess?
@DylanMixable Жыл бұрын
The epoxy stickers look curved--are these tokens stackable, or would they just fall off each other? I'm wondering if a small creature occupies the same space.
@JPCoovert Жыл бұрын

@DylanMixable Жыл бұрын
Had a great time following the tutorial, and you were right! They work great. My only issue is that the Hole Punch you recommended tore my paper at the same spot each time--I think it's just dull in that spot. Do you think this issue is from me using normal printer paper? Will photo paper not have the same issue?@@JPCoovert

I dunno if the magnets I got were the wrong size by accident or what, but I just ordered them and the size of the magnets were 3/4 of an inch, not a full inch. So maybe there's another magnet product or did I just get hit with Amazon's terrible luck again?
@JPCoovert 6 ай бұрын
If you used the link in the video description they sent you the wrong size!
@SigilWizardClassic 6 ай бұрын
Yes, I used that link, but the packaging even says "1 inch" so I'm guessing they put the wrong sized magnets into the wrong bag or did they label the bag wrong altogether? Eh. Doesn't matter. I've already put in a return, but I am rather disappointed. I guess I'll order a different set if I can or see if I can't get it at Wal-Mart or something.
