All of these tools are manual and easy to use, and doesn't require power or batteries. You'll have to operate them with the strength of your body, and that's not a huge requirement as well.

Here are the basic steps that you need to follow to use a button maker.

Installation of the Button Maker

Most button maker come installed inside the packaging, particularly when they're of the smaller, handheld size. If the manufacturer you've chosen is quite large one, you might have to assemble and install it yourself.

Most of the time the assembly process is a simple process of screwing the machine to the base. You can use your hands to do this in the initial stage and then utilize the screwdriver provided as part of the equipment. The next step is connect the dies to be placed on button maker device, generally one on the bottom and the other at the top.

Sometimes, the bottom has two dies instead of one, but they're together in an entire set. Usually, the button makers that come with two dies at their base are the equipment which you'll need to use to make pin-back buttons, key chains for button keys bottles openers, rope tie.

Next comes installing the lever on top of the machine. It will also require the aid of a screwdriver. All you need is to prepare your button maker to go to work.

The Gathering of Button Parts

Almost all button makers come with all the components for making buttons that are required to make buttons. They could consist comprising 100 button accessories in addition to 1000 buttons but usually , all the components come together.

There are usually three parts that go into a button. They are a metallic piece, a transparent myler piece and pin back. They're always circular, and can be made in some specific dimensions, that will work with the device.

If your button maker doesn't come with any accessories , or in the case of a second hand machine and you want to buy more sets on the Internet.

Printing the design

This requires you to print the design of your choice to be made into a button badge, a bottle opener or key chain. You can make use of a standard printer, and regular paper, for the task.

Utilize a photo editing software to create the design, message or logo you'd like or items downloaded from Internet; use an printer printer it as many times as you need, to make the appropriate number of buttons.

A regular printer will suffice, but if use a high-quality paper, images will come out better and your button will look significantly brighter.

Cut out the design

The design must be printed in the size of the button's back, and then cut out in that same dimension. If you create a circular border around your design you can make use of a regular pair of scissors to cut out the design. It's quicker if you can use a rotary cutter to do the job, and it will be more precise too.

If you are running a button making business and need to cut a large number of buttons in a brief amount of time, it's best to invest in a good cutting machine that will cut your buttons in the shortest amount of time than you could do it with your hands.

The various types of Buttons

The next step is of creating your buttons using your maker for buttons. In one of the dies located at the bottom (your instruction guide will inform you of which die to select first) Place the metal on top.

The printed paper goes next, with the design facing up, and its back facing the plate of metal. The myler or the plastic, transparent piece of film is placed next to the over the image. All pieces have to be aligned perfectly.

When you are making the next die on the bottom, directly next to the one in which you've placed the design, the metal plate and the transparent piece, place in the pin-back portion of the metal from the button.

If you are making keychains, bottle openers or any other item that you want to make, it is necessary to put the back parts of these devices to the next die. The pin back needs to be looking downwards, just like the bottle openers.

When all pieces are in place, you'll need to press the lever with tremendous force and be sure to have done so on the die that you first used - the one with all three pieces of the button being inserted. The top one will come down and apply pressure to the bottom die.

When you let go of the lever, all three pieces would have been joined to disappear into an die above. It would be the bottom of the die where you had placed the design and the two other parts would have been empty. If all the pieces remain, it means you hadn't put the force required into the lever and would have to repeat the process.

Once you see that the front of the button has disappeared into the top section, turn the dies in such a way that the top die is over the second die that is at the bottom. It is the one with the pin-back or the bottle opener. You can also use even the keychain.

If it is a pin-back button, pin has to be perfectly aligned to ensure that the pin is on the highest point of your die facing downwards. Repeat pulling the lever downwards, and the top die will drop the already assembled button onto the back side and tie the entire thing together.

The whole process can take one or two seconds if have all the required parts to go.

Closing the Batch

The process is similar whether you are making the pin-back pin button as a basic pin-back, a mirror-back button, a key chain or bottle opener. It's only the back portion of the button that can be changed in the first three components. You can use the same design to create batches of all kinds of buttons with the same machine.
