Why Badge Making Is a Great Side Hustle

Badge making is one of the best side hustles you can take up in 2026, as it’s a great way to channel your creativity into products that there is always going to be a demand for. Custom badges are always going to be needed for events, promotions, clubs, schools and small businesses, and that’s not to mention badges for personal use, such as for fans of bands, TV shows, games and more!

What’s more, you don’t need a studio, or any experience or specialist training – all you need is a badge machine, components and your chosen artwork. And you can fit it in around your full-time work, parenting or studying, making it ideal for evenings and weekends. 

New Year, New Business Idea!

A new year is the perfect chance to start badge-making. Schools, clubs and businesses launch new initiatives, fitness challenges and fundraising campaigns, all of which are ideal opportunities for custom badges, magnets and keyrings. 

Badge products are affordable, easy to personalise and quick to produce, making them perfect for a side hustle.



With the Micro Badge Maker Multi Pack, you can create motivational badges, club merchandise, event giveaways and promotional items from day one. The ability to switch between sizes means you can say yes to more orders and adapt quickly to what your customers want.



How Beginners Can Make Money with Badge Making

Beginner badge makers can start making money by selling badges online through platforms such as Not on the High Street, Etsy and social media. You can also use social media to target local customers such as sports clubs, community groups and schools. Likewise, branded merchandise for fans of bands, TV shows, movies and games.

Badges, mirrors, keyrings and the other products you can make with our Micro Badge Maker also lend themselves well to repeat and bulk orders. Schools may reorder term after term, clubs update badges each season and businesses regularly need promotional items for campaigns and events. These repeat customers can help create steady income alongside one-off sales.

As badges are quick and easy to produce, inexpensive to post and you only really need the initial outlay for the machine and components (plus any refills), badge making as a side hustle can very quickly be profitable.

FAQs

Is badge making profitable as a side hustle?

Yes! It can easily be. With low material costs and high demand for custom badges, even small orders can generate good profit.

How much does it cost to make badges?

Very little! Once you’ve bought your badge maker, costs will be minimal, just materials and components, plus postage for any orders. Based on 1,000 25mm pre-pinned badges, the cost per badge (excluding printing your artwork) works out at just under 10p per badge.

Do I need any design experience?

No experience is needed. Simple designs actually work best, and you can easily use free templates or online tools to create your own artwork, or use fabric, or existing photos or logos (as long as the material is not too thick). 

Where are the best places to sell my products?

There are plenty of options available to you, for no or relatively little cost. Options to sell badges online include Etsy, Not on the High Street, Folksy or social media, where it’s free to create profiles.
