Button Maker Machine 25mm - Installation-Free 0.98 in (About 1 Inch) DIY Pin Badge Button Maker Press Machine,Badge Punch Press Button Maker Kit with Free 50pcs Button Parts(Green)

I've wanted one of these button machines since I was a kid (yes, I'm actually old enough that loading up our jean jackets with as many buttons as possible was a legitimate style choice when I was young). But for a long time the only button machines I saw were commercial-grade ones that cost hundreds of dollars - I just wanted one for fun craft projects, not to start a business. When I got a chance to get this machine I jumped at it.I got it out the other night to make buttons with the kids. It's pretty simple once you read the directions, the first attempt I had the back piece in the machine upside down but I figured it out after that. you need quite a bit of oomph to clamp the button all the way in the press, small kids will need an adult's help. We tried several methods: we cut some pictures out of magazines, we used some stickers, I let the kids just draw on the paper circles, and we tried using the circle cutter on some old trading cards. They all worked well except the trading cards, they were a bit too thick for the machine to crimp the button properly. Maybe I just need to press harder, or order the components for the larger size buttons.Overall my kids loved it, they made buttons for their backpacks and my daughter made some buttons for her classmates. I will be on the lookout for magazines and papers we can make more buttons with!

I'm quite satisfied with its performance.One of the standout features of this machine is its installation-free design. Setting it up was a breeze, and I was able to start making pin badges right away. The 25mm size produces badges that are about 1 inch in diameter, which is perfect for my needs.While I appreciate its ease of use and efficiency, I did encounter a slight learning curve when it came to perfecting the technique for creating flawless badges. Additionally, I found that the machine occasionally jammed, causing some frustration.Overall, the Button Maker Machine 25mm is a solid choice for anyone looking to create custom pin badges without the hassle of complicated setup. Despite a few minor issues, it gets the job done effectively.

I had never used one of these machines before, but in just a few minutes this kit had me making really nice buttons! You do not receive the rubber o ring mentioned for metal backs, but this kit forms metal-backed pins well. It takes a bit of practice to get the pin back aligned perfectly, but in 3 or 4 you get a feel for it.The cutter works but it is definitely the weak point of the kit. It'll get you started but you will want to invest in an upgrade if you plan on making a lot of buttons.

It was nice very easy to use. However, it did come with a few duds. Some of the backing didn’t have the metal piece. Mine come with 44 buttons instead of 50.

Worked for a few dozen buttons, then something broke and now all buttons aren't crimping the plastic cover completely. Worked for an event I had but won't use again.

Unfortunately I bought this for my daughter for this years Christmas. She was delighted to receive it but when we opened it we noticed there were pieces missing to the press itself so we can’t make any buttons.

This product is so fun and easy to use if you were trying to understand how to make pins I made some for my boyfriend’s graduation and they came out flawless. They are small, but they are perfect and exactly what I was looking for.

Disclaimer: All opinions are my own and I pride myself on unbiased reviews that can help others decide whether something is worth it.So for this price I wouldn’t expect it to be the same as the $100-$200 metal ones. But it works! For beginners, for school projects, for your kids, this is a great little budget button making machine. It even comes enough pieces to make 50 buttons! SO this is cheap. Everything quality wise is going to be cheap so temper your expectations. The machine itself is plastic and will absolutely not be as sturdy and great as the metal versions. They tout the fact that the machine is plastic and won’t rust like the metal ones, but guys. The metal ones ar STURDY and will last you near forever. There is absolutely a lifespan to this and I feels like it cannot handle higher quality buttons. There’s a reason it comes with buttons with cheap crappy plastic backs. I need to get some legit buttons with the metal backs but I feel like this thing won’t be able to handle it. It even comes with a cutter so you can print whatever you want and cut the right circle size for your button making. You definitely won’t be making buttons to sell lol. But for crafts, projects, for funsies, spreading messages and things this will do fine.
