VEVOR Button Maker Machine, 75 mm(3 inch) Badge Punch Press Kit, Children DIY Gifts Pin Maker, Button Making Supplies with 100pcs Button Parts & Circle Cutter & Magic Book

I've only ever used the larger button press and metal backings, but for occasional use it's worked fantastic. It does have a bit of a learning curve initially but since getting the hang of it I rarely have unusable buttons come out of the machine. It's sturdy, the buttons stand up to heavy wear after making, and it's handled a variety of papers for the images, including some thicker card stock after some trial and error.

My middle son is the most difficult person to shop for. Any gift I buy him is left unused, even the things he asks for.For Christmas, he asked for stuff to make magnets with. He was thinking magnet backs and a laminator...but I remembered how cool the band pins were and started researching button makers. Professional ones are usually extremely costly, but I looked closely at the specs for those and after searching reviews across the internet, I found that this model aligned with the specs almost identically to a well reviews professional model that was 4x the price. Metal. Manual production. And this one comes with extras.It felt like a big risk but he was surprised and excited to use it.The button maker was very well made. Much more solid than I was expecting. The pieces all fit together well, aligned well for the action.It took us more that a few tries to get the right pressure, but after reading the instructions a couple of times and a little practice, we were producing professional quality magnets with old magazine ads. Don't be discouraged if it turns out crappy buttons at first, it was definitely user error for us!It came with a ton of supplies; precut clear plastic and button backs...a lot. We've had it over a year and still haven't gone through everything.This could be a good investment for somebody and is certainly fun. I felt like my money was really well spent and will probably buy another one for myself.

I purchased this for my class to use. It immediately didnt work (as with other reviews), even using the materials they provided didnt work. The machine has a failure rate of 80% and the buttons it does make have bubbling around the edges, please see photos attached. It says in the manual and on their website that paper between a range of 127g -159g works, FALSE. When I contacted the company over 7 emails back and forth over 2 weeks (they said the issue would be resolved in 1 to 3 days) that only the materials they offer will work and sent me 2 links for their materials on Amazon, one of the links went to a page that no longer had the materials. They also said 159g paper works, FALSE. I ordered 4 different reams of paper at a cost of app. $70.00 all within the limit, including 159g paper none worked. I also ordered buttons from 3 different companies, at a cost of almost $80.00 none worked. They refuse to return the maker and so does Amazon. I have spent almost $300.00 of my very limited classroom budget for this and they have said too bad I am out of luck. I see that several people have had similar issues. I have spent hours trying to get it to work, watched videos did all the trouble shooting. It does not work, it is NOT user error. In my experience some tools like this have such a finite work or not that thats what you get . A tool that works or doesnt. I wouldnt recommend taking the risk. Dealing with the company has been a bit of a nightmare as well. Please consider your purchase wisely, maybe it works, maybe it doesnt. If it doesnt your are out of luck.UPDATE:After weeks of back and forth the company did send me a new button maker. This one works perfectly. The whole paper weight range and all worked. I use this maker exactly like the last one. This confirms my original hypothesis that the variables on this machine are so precise that if they are off at all it does not work. So people are either getting one that works or not. I would not recommend you taking the chance. I will also say that using a heat gun on the original machine buttons smoothed out the bubbles you see in my images making them usable, a heat gun, not a hair dryer.

I've wanted a button maker for years, but never had a valid reason to purchase one. Had a few extra bucks this month and bought this one. Picked this particular model because 1) it's all metal construction, and 2) it does two different sizes of buttons. Plus, I've bought a number of other VEVOR products in the past and have been satisfied with their quality.Being all metal this button machine is heavy - heavier than I was expecting. Which I like. There is some assembly required, but not much and nothing complicated. However, the instructions you get are very confusing. It appears they were badly translated from some other language into English. There are photos along with the written text, so it isn't that hard to figure out what needs to be done to put this together. Just four parts to assemble.You get a lot of supplies with this, and a couple of tools for cutting circles out of paper to use as artwork for your buttons. The circle cutters look clumsy to use, so I will be buying some hole punches later.You get both plastic and metal backs for the two different sizes of buttons. You also get a paperback book with some graphics to use for buttons to practice on.I made several test buttons as soon as I got the button maker put together. I was surprised at how little pressure was needed - I was sort of expecting some large amount of force was needed. But no, it's actually very little. All the buttons came out prefect. Both the plastic back ones as well as the metal ones.I also bought a batch of the third-part button supplies to use, but have yet to try to use that with this machine, I'll come back and update my review if I have a problem using those materials.All-inall I happy with my purchase and would readily recommend this model.

This device has been working great since we got it. We’ve made hundreds of buttons of varying sizes and it has not failed us. I did upgrade to better cutters for the paper design inserts, but the hardware itself is top-notch.
