Hacking Hitokirikai Zelda Amiibo Coins

[xombiemp]

Ok, I found the Triforce Symbol and Sheikah Symbol online. I used Silhouette Studio to make the "pattern", then I used my Silhouette Cameo Cutter to cut the pattern out of Heat Transfer Vinyl (kinda like a fancy iron-on). Then I used an iron to transfer the vinyl onto the Jewelry Bag that I had. Took about 10 minutes from start to finish.

Thanks for explaining! Now I just got to find a neighbor who has a machine like that. Could you possible share the pattern file and pdf of those symbols like you did with the coins?

I put the Silhouette file and a pdf on the Google Drive.

Thanks @Hitokirikai

I am curious to see if that will happen too...

Only took 4 days, but they aren't exactly like mine, but the idea is there. 12 Dollars a Coin? YIKES!

I know, right? See how much for the whole set! But, if I was going to make coins, I'd make them similar to dog tags so they'd fit in the Switch cartridge holders in many cases.

Okay, this is pretty spiffy! Probably an easier way for people to make their own good-looking amiibo tags, without having to buy or find a way to borrow a system that can print images on PVC cards XD

Hmmmmm....Dog Tags.....idea forming....

Yeah, I've been contemplating getting some Switch cart sized tags cut out (online laser cutting service) made of wood or some other cheap material, putting NFC tags on them, putting images on them and then storing them in a case like this: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/insignia-switch-game-storage-case-black/5723404.p?skuId=5723404

Hold 16 Switch cartridges which is just enough for all the Zelda Breath of the Wild amiibo.

Here are some real fancy ones someone made: https://www.flickr.com/photos/stuff_tm/33969182345/in/album-72157679221500073/

Ok, Presenting.....AMIIBO DOGTAGS!!!!

Yes, they are made like the coins, so it is just photo paper and 5 layers of cardstock with a NFC Tag. The backs look like the cards and coins I did. After the idea hit, I had to make a couple with what I had around the house. I found a set of Dog Tag Silencers to make them look less papery....

WTF, that was fast! What do you think about them? Better or worse than coins? Think they'd fit in the elastic cart holders you see stitched in the Switch carrying cases?

Personally, I like both, they are sized at a standard dog tag size, so they are a bit big to put in the cart holder.

Thanks for the reply. I don't have any dog tags around so I couldn't test. Sent you a PM if you don't mind, wanted your opinion on something.

nice work there cool

Dog tags definitely better than the coin imo due to seeing more of the artwork. But for storage i guess coin is more 'convenient.'

They both have their merit. If you are wanting to carry your "Personal Amiibo" with you I think the Tags are better, but for carrying a bunch I like the coins in the pouch.

@Hitokirikai I printed and cut my coins with a neighbor's Silhouette Cameo. I'm just waiting for my coin cases to get here from China. I was wondering if you could create another Silhouette studio file that contains the new art work from Random11 for the Majora's Mask, Skyward Sword and Twilight Princess Links. Just those three and the coin backs on a page would be awesome! Then I can print those and have the full set of 18.

They are really gorgeous!
Even those dog tags.

If it was allowed, I even would buy them!

There is a new file called Updated Coins that have the 3 new coins.

Thanks so much! Got them printed and cut out. Still waiting for the coin containers. I'll post pics when they're all done.

[EDIT]
Here are the pics!

If anyone is interested I got the bag from this Etsy shop. https://www.etsy.com/listing/239560280/sale-triforce-dice-bag-drawstring-bag
It was a custom order to add the Sheikah slate eye symbol to the other side.

I'm in love with the coins in this bag! Thanks for the idea and template files.
