Interchangeable Badge Reel Base Options

Purchase a badge reel from this listing if you would like velcro added to your badge reel of choice. Here at STS, we permanently attach the rough hook & loop circle to the face of the badge reel. 

📌It is recommended to use SmallTownSunshine interchangeable badges in conjunction with the toppers in our shop. There are many hook & loop closure brands, we cannot guarantee that they will securely adhere with toppers from other badge reel companies.
