DIY Downloadable Scout Badges


 Inspired by the film, Moonrise Kingdom,  the ladies at France-based blog Do It Yvette created this fun set of downloadable scout badges that can be used in a few different ways.  I loved so much what they did I asked them if we could share their ideas here.

For example, you can use stickers for sealing packages of candy for a birthday, the tattoo print on paper or (my favorite) transferred onto fabric and use them as real scouts badges on a sweater, backpack or jacket (like above)!  To make a sewable badge: You can print onto an iron on transfer. Print on white cloth.  Then cut them out and sew onto whatever!






They offer the PDF file and Illustrator file to allow you to print in the size you want your characters to projects!  Click here for the download: ♢ Scout Badge File Download

Do It Yvette is 3 bloggers (Amélie from MorningbyFoley, Marjorie from Cococerise and Laetitia from Vertcerise).Last year  they decided to create a collective DIY project and called it Do It Yvette. First, they self-published a book (available in their Etsy shop) - only in french for now, an english digital version should arrive soon. Then, they created the blog to talk about digital creativity (and share resources, inspirations and freebies - patterns, printables ...)!

Well, I can see myself spending a good amount of time cooing over all the lovely bits and bobs on DIY. I'm definitely rather taken with their pineapple pattern.

Thanks for sharing Jan!
