Customer Reviews for VEVOR Button Maker 1inch/25mm Button Badge Maker 500 Button Parts+Circle Cutter

Best gift for a 12 year old girl! This takes a bit of trial and error to get the hang of it. Plan to make a lot of mistakes at first. The only complaint is that the circle cutters that come with the kit are junk. I have yet to find circle punches that are just the right size. I cut out some cardstock circles with my Brother Scan n Cut for my daughter to use as templates. She traces the circle and cuts with scissors.

I've read up on button makers and chose this when it came with 3 sizes. The \"best\" brand American Button Makers is rather pricey. So I chose this as a beginner. It is not difficult to set up and use but it does seem one out of 5 or 6 buttons doesn't come out and are wasted. I'll try oiling with mineral oil as suggested to see if I can have less losses. But the buttons that have turned out are nice. Time to see later about mirrors and key chains. I'm a author and so I am using this to make swag items to give to my readers. Its should be able to help me do that.

This has been great thus far!! Only problem is that it was missing the spacer for the metal backs!! Can’t find one separately.

The machine is very easy to use had a perfect button my second try, however the enclosed directions are not helpful I had to watch a Utube video to see how it worked also the circle cutters are flimsy and do not work , would suggest buying a circle cuter set.

I've been wanting a multi-size button maker for awhile for something fun to do in my spare time. Money is tight so I didn't want to spend a lot. The price point on this one fit the bill. I would have preferred all metal button backs. Originally, I thought this set included all plastic backs, but it has 50/50 metal/plastic button backs for all sizes. The plastic ones are nicer than I thought, although I still prefer the metal ones. The machine seems pretty sturdy and well-made. It should have taken about 10 minutes to assemble and make the first button, but the instructions are TERRIBLE. They were clearly written by someone who does not speak fluent English. My brain felt like it was melting trying to make sense of them. However, after quite some time of trial and error, I was able to get it to work. My main issues were: For the first push (A), the pins on the lower piece are not meant to go through the holes. When you move the tray over for second push (B) - applying the button back - it moves so that the pins DO go through for that push. Secondly, I had a terrible time getting the upper piece removed so I could swap sizes. It took a lot of pull - A LOT - but it finally came off. Once I figured it out, I made a couple quick buttons. It was easy and quick and they came out perfectly. I did order 90lb paper to go with it. I also made a template on PhotoShop for the different sizes. That way I can size them perfectly and cut them out rather than use the circle cutters that are included (difficult to use and basically worthless IMHO) or spend money on circle punches. The included book is okay. It was nice to have some things ready to cut out for trying out the button maker, but they are nothing I'd use otherwise. A book with a variety of general themes would have been nicer. Overall, I'm pleased so far, but will definitely update if I run into any issues.
