This manual button maker presses 1 inch (25mm) round pinback buttons. A positive-stop design keeps the upper and lower dies aligned. The handle has a cushioned grip and needs little force to press a button.
To make a button, print a picture on paper and cut it to the size of the transparent film. Set the bottom and top molds on the machine. Place the metal front in the top mold, then add the picture and the film, and press. Then add the pin back to the bottom mold, move the mold base back under the top mold, and press again.
The molds are interchangeable on the same machine body. The machine can also be used to make items such as rope ties, key holders, mirror key holders and bottle openers.
