VEVOR Button Maker Machine 1/1.25/2.25 inch(25/32/58mm) 3-in-1 Pin Maker

LOVE IT! 365 buttons for every day of the year! Seriously, I use this to make buttons for various craft projects and functions. Works great too if you print out images in the applicable space on regular paper, just make sure the print quality is nice if you’re making a proper presentation with them. Easy to use. Fun pre made images to cut out, fun to draw and print out your own. PRO TIP: Be sure to know when to use the little black ring. I find it’s needed for the metal backings but not the plastic ones. Directions do not say any of this. PRO TIP: if making and printing your own, remember to give the circle like a 5-10 mm border beyond the image circle. You’ll need that to crimp around the plate, so remember to not include imagery in that border. Play with it to figure it out.

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.

This Vevor Button Maker machine is extremely finicky. I used the machine today to make 12 buttons, and I think I ended up tossing out approximately 6 or 7 buttons that were ruined. I was making the 58mm buttons too. The instructions are very simple, so simple that they are not too helpful at all. I had to play around with the two gaskets, noticed that the press part of the machine has too much play where it wiggles just enough to cause the plastic circular top cover to not seat and seal properly. After studying the machine for a bit, and playing with it enough, I was able to somewhat figure out the mechanical process and produce some successful buttons. However, it’s still a hit and miss for me right now. I’ll have to try to make some more buttons tomorrow and see if I can get it to produce good buttons. If not, I’ll return this machine and look for another brand. By the way, if you use your Cricut Maker machine you might want to play around with the Print Then Cut feature. The Cricut Maker Machine is reducing my dimensions and not giving me 58mm circular cuts. That’s another thing that I’ll have to work on. However, I may just skip the Cricut Maker cutting process and just buy a 2 inch circular hole punch. That might be quicker and easier than the Cricut Maker. The other issue is working with the right paper weight, and possibly type of paper too. I tried using regular paper (40 lbs) and that worked okay but I hated the print quality. Then I switched to matte finish photo glossy paper (110 lbs), and although Vevor doesn’t recommend it, it worked okay too, and the quality was pretty good. Again, I’ll play with the machine for a bit more to see if I can get consistency on it. Right now, I’m rating it at 3-stars for the above reasons. 09JUNE2026 UPDATE: After many failed attempts at trying to get the Vevor Button Maker to work, I finally said enough. I don't know what is wrong with the machine really. I can't tell if the machine has too much play on the part that attaches the shell and backing together, or if it is the seals that the machine came with. I could not figure it out. But the problem, in my opinion, is somewhere between those two areas. I even tried different gauges of paper too, and no success. The machine just kept failing to wrap the Mylar plastic and graphic correctly, and build a tight seal with the shell and the backing. I was truly dissapointed, as I was really looking forward to making buttons for family and friends. Because of this, I am downgrading the three-star rating down to a one-star rating, and cautioning folks to buy at your own risk.

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.

I just got this machine today and was initially disappointed as it didn't work as smoothly as the 3" Vevor machine (which is all metal) does. I was having a lot of issues with the plastic cover not wrapping all of the way around and the back being fully attached to the front. What I found to be helpful was to pump the handle several times on both pieces. I didn't let it fully disengage between down strokes, just pushed down as hard as as I could 3-4 times. So far, that seems to be working.

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.

I am so glad I added the VEVOR 2.25-inch (58mm) Button Maker Machine to my studio! As someone who runs a small crafting business, I need tools that are both reliable and efficient, and this kit completely delivers.

So very easy to use. I didn't even finish reading the first page of the instructions and got the hang of it. I was surprised on the quality and the amount of supplies you get. You also get the tools needed to maintain the machine. It's very lightweight and doesn't take up too much space. I'm completely happy with my purchase. One thing though, be very careful when you cut the zip tie holding down the handle to the base. It sprung up and bit my hand. But that happened because I wasn't careful.

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!

Kit completo e funzionale. Grazie

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

perfect! sturdy, comes with tons of start materials and does exactly what it’s supposed to! the instructions are a little hard to read and contain spelling mistakes but you’ll learn quickly
