Where can I buy or borrow a sturdy 2.25" button maker in Portland, OR?

We have to make 300 buttons by Friday and our badge-a-minit just gave up the ghost.

Thanks!

Seems like something that you could buy at Michael's.

Response by poster: It does seem that way, but alas they don't stock them.

Craigslist?

Why not inquire at The Independent Publishing Resource Center? Zinesters are bound (NPI) to know of or have access to a button maker!

Piggyback:

Dang! I was about to ask nearly the same question, in Portland, even! Except I really do need to buy my own.

I bought an "Amazing Button Maker" at Joanne's, and got not even one itsy button out of it, as it's such a piece of junk. I am using the dies from it to hand-smash a couple of awful buttons for use today, but I'll need more, and better, by Wednesday.

So if anyone knows where I could grab a badge-a-minit or something similar locally, that would be amazing.
