If we want to bring our own art for a button, what size should we make it?

We have two sizes of button makers. The dimensions of the paper cutout are 2 5/8" diameter for the large maker and 1 5/8" diameter for the smaller one. The final button will be smaller than that, closer to 2 1/4" and 1 1/4" diameter because the paper wraps around the face of the metal button. At this event we will have the paper punches that make paper discs of the exact size needed for each of these two sizes of button maker. You can bring your own artwork that fits the dimensions above or you can bring larger sheets and punch out from those.

If you are bringing your own paper, any common paper (magazine, newsprint, printer paper) should be fine. But we also have a lot of magazines and maps to take images from.
