Mine still works! BUT it does have its moments. I would say if you're looking for heavy long-term use, definitely uprade to a more expensive one. This one is great for just trying out button making. EDIT: As of Nov 2024 the handle broke off. But that was after heavy use. It did me well while i had it.
When the plastic cover part does that it’s often because you have two of them or two metal pieces if that makes sense! I had that happen to me as well and I have to be super careful they’re not stuck together before I punch it.
I came here as I recently purchased this product and i'm uber duber excited to get it next week so im just feeding my hyper fixation. Your pins look so cute, i can't waittt
you just unlocked my memory lol i forgot i had one of these from a few years ago lol sometimes i would help friends at cons they always said it was better to print the background bigger than u need in case it gets off center when pressing also the fabric ones are cool!
i know this video is old but how are you measuring the images u print out? for some reason no matter how hard i try i just cant get my pin maker to align my image correctly😭
You want your image to be the entirety of the plate. So, i cut my circles at 1.75" for my 1.25" buttons. Give the plate a measure so the paper won't be able to move. Hope this helps!
It definitely has its moments. I feel like it's been more sensitive recently. One thing off, and it throws a tantrum. I have, however, made nearly 1k buttons at this point. I had just bought the machine as a tester to see if I like it, and it has proven well. I do think I will upgrade to something a bit hardier when I have the means to do so. I'll be sure to do a new video and compare when I get there. Sorry you're not having a great experience! What has been going on with yours?
Does your Vevor button machine still work after two years? I'm thinking of getting one but I'm worried it will break after a few months.

That makes sense! Thanks for the heads up!

Yooo! That's great! I hope you love it! Mine ended up being super useful and a huge hit at cons!
Hey, this video was very helpful! I’ve been searching for a button press, and now I think I know which one I’m going to be trying out now :D
Glad I could help! OwO

Thanks for the advice! The fabric I tried was knit and slightly thicker. I bet if I used light woven cotton, the fabric pins would turn out better!
Thanks for saving me $100! I didn't realize it was cheaper elsewhere.
Glad I could help!
Thanks for this.. needed guidance
They look soooo cute ☺☺☺
Thanks! I'm drawing a lot to see what I can make before Con Season starts! I'm having fun!
What kind of paper do you use to print the button designs?
Edit: try cutting the fabric smaller, the thickness might be messing with the edges.
Thanks for the video those instructions were wonky you totally saved my day
Glad I could help✨✨✨✨

I got the same exact setup as you and my panda book is completely blank pages
Correction I flipped through it way too fast there's artwork every several pages
I can confirm that plastic or metal backs don't matter. I have some with plastic backs that are rusting through the image.
Thanks for the info. I've always been curious!
If you don’t mind me asking what size of pin did you get!!
Of Course! I have a 1.25" Button Set
Yours still holding up? Mine won't work well anymore. I even bought 2 machines lol

Wow almost 10 years of going to cons! So cool
I'm excited because I was accepted to sell at what was my first ever con all those years ago. It feels full circle!
