Update my previous review, it does work, however be patient and make sure u have muscles and work on a table top or a level counter in order for the adhesive to apply properly. And yes better instructions will be nice.

This is a lot smaller then what I thought it'd be and it's pretty easy to use while in reason (I did messed up on the first button by not pressing down fully in the second step but it was easy to fix) if I had to say something bad it would be that it's hard to get the back of the button straight and it's kinda confusing on how the tops gonna appear relative to the back (also with mess up of the first the pin back was on the bottom not the top(it's still wearable)) but it seemed like it need to be clearerOverall for the experience of the press it's fun to do and it's easy once its figured out how to place the pieces I would recommend this to beginners for button making

At first, we were excited to get the machine. It came with a package of plastic and plenty of 58" buttons and backs, which are not great quality but suffice. We got the 58" machine, which means we have to use the washer that comes with the machine for larger buttons. There is no option to make smaller button sizes. Keep that in mind when you order if you plan to make smaller buttons. Due to confusing instructions, we watched online tutorials to try to figure out how to make the machine work. The tutorials are all for different machines. It looks easy but you have to get the right combination and anytime we add a design to the center, the plastic never grasps the button back. The one single button we got to work was blank, with no design in the center. Also, you may want heavier paper or a photo printer for your designs. Regular printer paper doesn't seem to work. If the paper is too thick, it doesn't work, either. When I contacted the company, they asked me to send them a video of us using the machine. I told them "No!" I'm not taking a video of my home and children to send to some unknown company. They then closed the ticket within a week of contact because I didn't upload a video to them. They don't refund money. They don't seem to replace defective items or cover broken machines. Customer service is limited to "upload a video so we can make something up." It's a 50$ paper weight at this point, which is dissapointing. We'll try again eventually for button number two, but we won't purchase from this company ever again. There are better products out there. If/when you cant get it to work, it's great. We're planning to try with better materials from the art store instead of the cheap materials it comes with.

Elle a bien plu à ma fille.Dommage que la notice ne soit pas traduite en français. On s’est tout de même débrouillés.

I got this button press and kit to make some buttons for my daughters school and to make some cosplay buttons. The machine works great!I have probably made 150 buttons and I've only had maybe 5 failures? And they were all user error or not pushing down hard enough *see belowI think it's mostly technique that yields good buttons. One important thing to do is to use a good template for your paper graphics, it should be about the same size as the mylar. If you make the paper design too small, it won't fold under the button correctly. I made mine 40mm in diameter for the 32mm button machine and it works great.Tips: Make sure you only use regular photocopy or laser paper. Don't use thicker paper stock. Make sure you only have one clear piece of mylar on top, not two. Static can make them stick together. Press down all the way on the lever, slowly and firmly. Doing it fast yields errors.When I press down on the backing with the safety pin, there's a noticeable point where the press stops, but then you can press it further. Press down ALL THE WAY to ensure a good tight seal.Good luck!

I have been using this machine for about 6 months now. I love it. It's a perfectly sufficient machine, so I'm not sure the trouble other reviewers have had. I originally thought the base looked pretty gnarled and cheap but I later learned that the brown is protective paper that peels off. It also came with a ton of parts. I'm only just now needing to restock. There is a bit of a learning curve with the back alignment but quick to get used to. The parts are a bit cheap but still sufficient. I've had a few of the pins pop off but I think that was from not using sufficient pressure when making them. My only real "complaint" if you want to call it that, is that i wish the base was actually heavier. Sometimes when I am pressing hard, the machine will lift a little. A heavier base would keep it steady without having to permanently attach it to the surface. Other than that, I am absolutely satisfied with my purchase. I have since bought the 1in and plan to purchase a larger size soon. I produce pins for sale and have yet to have any complaints from customers or from friends/family who have received them. I recommend, but caution new users to make sure they are using it right before reporting it as a bad product.

I needed to make some buttons. Love this machine easy to use. I tested it by cutting a circle with a one inch circle punch on a picture from a magazine just to test. Wow love it

Didnt have to wait too long. Easy to put together, but those were some dirty allen keys provided! My 8yo daughter could work it on her own once we figured it out. The edges of the base are a little sharp, so just be careful when you're starting out. It still requires some counterbalance when pressing down the lever, but it's fairly straightforward to use otherwise. The cutter it came with is absolute rubbish though. Bought a separate 1.25" paper puncher which was waaaayyyy worth its minimal cost.Works well with cute gift wrapping paper, and "angpow" aka Chinese red packets. (We were on an eco-friendly drive and these were all donated.) The girls at the school carnival really really loved how they could customise their own button badges. Even the parent volunteers loved how easy it was!Some of the hooks and the metal discs were slightly faulty but out of our 1000pcs, those were a minimum. Maybe 5 to 10?The other small thing to note is that you should align your hook (the back part of the badge) such that the design on the button badge sits in the correct direction, so that when it's pinned on, it's not upside down or at some odd angle.
