article: You'll need to find a long serial number, usually 17 digits, marked somewhere on your car or truck. It may be in one of several locations. You can read the wikihow article on how to Find Your VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) or look in the common locations listed below.  Look on the dash at the base of the windshield on the driver's side for a small plaque. Look for a sticker on the driver's door. A VIN may also be found in the front of the engine block, easily visible once you open the hood. On most newer vehicles, some body parts such as fenders and hoods also have the VIN on them for identification and matching parts to the vehicle. Open the driver-side door, and look at the where the side view mirror would be located if the door were shut. Older cars may have VINs found elsewhere, such as on the steering column, radiator support bracket, or the left-side inner wheel arch. You can find websites that can decode the VIN of most manufacturers automatically. Try VIN Decoder.net if you're looking for detailed, quickly accessible information.  You can try to find a VIN lookup on your car manufacturer's web site, but it's not guaranteed to have one. If your vehicle was manufactured before 1980, it might have a nonstandard VIN. If free lookup websites don't work, try a paid service such as CARFAX, AutoCheck, or VinAudit. These should give you a little information for free, but a full VIN decoding will cost money. Specialized VIN websites and VIN lookup services exist to see whether your vehicle was involved in an accident, fire, or other damaging situation. You cannot decode this information from a VIN yourself, since the VIN for a vehicle never changes. These services just take advantage of the fact that police and other organizations use the unique VIN to describe a car in accident reports.  First, try the free service at The National Insurance Crime Bureau website. If you cannot get information for free online, you may need to pay for a Vehicle History Report. This should be included in the VIN report services described earlier, such as VinAudit's. Follow the methods below instead if you want to have fun decoding it yourself, or if your vehicle was made by an unusual manufacturer not decodable by a website. Finding out where and when your car was made should be easy, while the other methods may take extra effort. These codes are fully standardized in North America. Elsewhere in the world, most major manufacturers follow the same standards, but they may use the 9th and 10th characters for different purposes. In North America, the 9th must be used as "checking code" to confirm the VIN is real, and the 10th must be used to indicate the year the car was made.

article: Do you remember any of her family members' names? If so, they may be on Facebook. This is especially true of younger relatives.  Look through their friend lists. If she's on Facebook, it's likely she will be friends with her family members. Again, remember that the name's rarity has to be factored in. If she was named Jane, but her brother was named Tobias, you may have more luck trying to find him because of his name's rarity. Also, men don't change their last names through marriage usually, so searching for her father or brother or other male relatives is a good bet. Can you find any of these? If so, you could add them and ask them if they know about her.  See if you have mutual friends with her.  Facebook has a “mutual friends” feature that Facebook uses to match you with a name. If you have any mutual friends at all, she will be high on the list. Look on the right column under the feature “people you may know” and see if she comes up (she may if you have a mutual friend).   Or you could just scour their friend lists to see if she's listed on them. This will work better if you knew her recently because it will be more likely she is still in touch with them. Do you know any details about her? Where she went to school or where she worked? If so, it may be worthwhile finding the school or company on Facebook. These people might know her.  You also might find that she is already a member of the school alumni group or has posted on comments on it. You might be able to jog your memory of her family members' names or friends' names by looking at alumni groups or high school yearbooks (many are also scanned in online).

For a professional finish and ease of production, buy a full button press. They aren't that much money and it will make the work a lot easier, if you need to make several hundred buttons.  You can also buy a hand-held cheap version but this produces a cheap-looking button. You can also get paper cutters which will further streamline the process. Just make sure it's the right size for your machine. You'll need the disk, the back, and the clear plastic front. Make sure it is for a button machine and make sure it is for the same size button that your machine produces. Print and cut out the image that you want on your button. Make sure the image you have is the right size for the button casing and then print it out on regular paper. Cut out the images as perfectly as you can. Make sure the machine is in the starting position. Place the back piece in the circular nest, backside facing down and the line of the pin horizontal. The disk should be placed in next, bowl or underside-side down. The image should be facing up and aligned correctly with the pin. Place the plastic on top of the image. Press down on the lever until you hear a click. Switch the machine into the second position. Press down firmly. There may not be a click. Lift the lever again and your button should be complete. There may be a release switch to make it easier to remove the button from the nest.
