VEVOR Button Maker, 1/1.25/2.28 inch(25/32/58mm) 3-in-1 Pin Maker with 300pcs Button Parts, Ergonomic Arc Handle Punch Press Kit, Button Maker Machine with Panda Magic Book, for Children DIY Gifts

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’ve been thinking about buying a button maker for a while and could not decide which one to buy. I finally made up my mind and got the one that has interchangeable size options. I’m so glad I did!! Other than my initial mistake of inserting the paper the wrong way, every button has come out perfect! The instructions are not clear but once you set it up once, it is fine. It does feel a little wobbly. The base could be wider to keep it more stable. But still, a great machine! The box was squished when I received the package but everything inside was in good condition. So far it has been a great purchase. I think Vevor also makes construction tools and equipment so honestly that was the reason why I chose this brand. I figured if they can make good construction tools, they can make a good button maker.

I recently got this button maker, and I have to say—it’s such a fun and easy tool to use! It does take a couple of tries to get the hang of it, but once you do, it becomes second nature. The process is smooth, and the buttons come out looking great every time. One of the best things about this set is that it comes with a tool to make perfect circle cutouts, which makes the whole process even easier. No more guessing or uneven edges! The materials feel sturdy, and the machine itself is well-made. If you’re into crafts, DIY projects, or just want to make custom buttons for fun or business, I highly recommend this button maker. It’s simple, effective, and super enjoyable to use!

So I've NEVER written a review before. But I'm only doing this to help other consumers. I've seen different reviews for this and many of the negative reviews have very similar responses. From an objective point of view, I feel like these machines are somewhat hit or miss. I ordered 1 and it barely made any buttons. About 1/10 buttons were feasible. I requested a replacement instead of getting a refund and I did button after button, probably close to 50 or so, and NONE worked. I tried different paper, matched with the mylar shape, tried making a button WITHOUT ink, just plain paper (because some online sources say print form an laser printer could cause possible crimping issues due to wax or whatnot). Then I'm pretty sure I used all the correct materials. I then saw online about a little slick stick for putting on the machine so the mylar doesn't slip around. Honestly I don't buy that that is the reason the buttons all failed. I think it's just the design of the machine. If it IS true that I HAVE to have other specialized products to actually make buttons, then I feel they should tell you. It's advertised as a machine that's ready-to-go, it seems with the supplies. Overall, very disappointing. I get that SOME machines people have gotten may work. I've noticed this same problem with many of the other types of machines like this. There seems to be no consistency. It's almost a hit and miss with them. My suggestion: don't risk it unless you want to face a very real possibility of disappointment. I mean notice the reviews. It's not like MOST of them are 5 stars and then trickle down. They are completely spread out. THAT is a red flag in and of itself. Don't try it. The design defect, I feel, is that it doesn't crimp or fold over just due to the design of the machine. Like I said though, you MAY actually GET a good machine that works. It doesn't mean it's a good design overall. You just HAPPEN to have a good one. Before writing this review I also had reached out to the company. They wanted pictures and/or videos and such. Honestly, I don't have the time and don't want to engage in a several day/week ordeal going back and forth discussing the issues. The design is bad, or the design doesn't work for a lot of the times. I just wanted to pay for a product that works. It doesn't work, so I wanted a replacement. It was even worse so I asked what resolutions we can come up with. Once I was sent the message to do all this extra work, I decided "nope, I'm doing the refund and going to write a review". I'm not in it enough to invest in a back-and-forth honestly. No problems with the company, just this product. I haven't the experience yet with the company to say if they're trustworthy or not. It seems they are quick and easy to deal with so that's good! Just a bad situation I guess. I'm not angry or don't want to be negative. Just felt this issue was big enough to offer a warning to those seeking to spend good money for a quality product. I'd avoid this machine.

Easy to use and works like a name brand one. Plenty of supplies however the instruction book is choppy English. I had to watch a YouTube video to understand. Save time and buy a separate hole punch

Ok, so after using this bad boy after 10 days I realized in order for the buttons to come out perfect you have to put force into your pressing. You can just press the materials but they will nearly always fail. I feel like Im going to break it but that's also just in my head. It's lightweight but having a sturdy/solid surface underneath is key! Also, you cannot use this for trading cards. The trading card material is too thick and will jam the press. In order to use trading cards they have to be cut a couple mm's larger than the button or smaller, NOT the full size of the pressing circle area.

If you're looking for high volume and production speed/consistency, I'd recommend a different machine. If you're a hobbyist and/or don't mind a high defect rate, you may consider the hassle worth the comparatively low price--though I would highly recommend NOT using this machine on original artwork or photos to avoid losing them; prints and copies only. I DO like the number of peices, the cheap but functional circle cutter, the low per-piece button part refills, the almost-completely steel construction of the machine, and the ease of use. Where things grind to a halt for me is the defect rate. The ones that are sandwiched correctly look fantastic, but only 9 out of my last batch of 33 (~27%) were completely successful. Many of the defects are fairly minor and the button can be more or less CAREFULLY salvaged with a pair of flat jewelry pliers, but nearly as many are still obviously deformed (front misshapen and/or edges ripped) and will need to be sold at a discount if at all. One was a complete loss with the halves failing to attach on the first press, and doing so incredibly badly on the second. I'm still experimenting with speed and pressure to attempt to increase the success rate, but consistency is difficult as fast and increased levels of force make the machine shift and rock forward on its base. After I've sold enough buttons to cover my cost, I'll likely be purchasing a higher quality machine.

Works great can’t believe how much comes with it. The buttons turn out great. Make sure you only use one plastic!

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 below I 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!

Todo perfecto

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 bought my daughter the button maker because she wanted to make buttons but the back doesn’t stay on the buttons so it’s useless , the maker itself seems to work but we can’t know until we can actually make buttons

Heel tevreden, eenvoudig in gebruik en mooie kwaliteit van puns
