Review on BEAMNOVA 25Mm Round Button Maker Machine - DIY Pin Maker Kit With 1000 Button Parts Supplies For Crafting And Custom Badges by Committed Schmidt

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great once you figure it out!

I read a lot of the reviews to finally figure out how to make this work - attaching a video for reference.Essentially, on the first press with aluminum, paper, and plastic, you don’t want the posts to line up with the holes on the press. On the second press, you do. Another tip, don’t double press the aluminum backers - if you got it wrong the first time, you’ve already changed the shape and it won’t give you a clean button on the second attempt (it will be an irregular circle, as seen in some reviews). Luckily you’ve got 999 others to try and get it right.Make sure your paper is slightly smaller than your plastic topper. I ordered a 2” circular hole punch which is perfect for the size I got (44mm), about 1/8” smaller than the recommended paper size.And lastly, just because I would hate for you to do something as stupid as me, be careful when you unwrap this. I went to grab what I thought must be a part of the press to assemble it, but it was the cutter and I sliced my finger open. Ouch.

Pros
  • Creates smooth, even, and polished button surfaces
Cons
  • The machine’s pin doesn’t hold well on fabric
