How to use the button press

A tutorial on how to use the button press! Make the most stunning and customized project buttons easily!

It seems a little confusing at first, with all these different gadgets; but once you get going it’s really easy. With this button press, it is possible to make three sizes of buttons, large, medium, and small.

How to use the press button to do small buttons

Before making any buttons, it is necessary to use the cutting inserts; to cut the piece of paper. This sticks-on very easy; they have magnets on them. The cutting inserts are the white pieces.

to make a small button you are going to use all the pink pieces. Start with the pink cutting piece. Get a piece of paper with a stamp or design of choice. put the cutting piece on the paper. swivel the platform until it is just below it and finally push down the level.

The cracking noise is a good sound, now there’s the little circle perfectly cut out.

Now we’re done with the cutting pieces, remove those, and place the small pink press pieces, one on the top and one on the base. Just hook them together with the magnets.

Take the base pieces, in this case, the small ones. take the top piece and put it in the hole face up, then put the paper you cut before, and finally put the mylar sheet; align the paper with the lines of the pink piece. First, line everything up with the “a”, make sure the top and bottom are on the “a”. 

Now swivel and check again that they are on “a”. push down on the level and then swivel it out.

Now it’s time to make the back of the button, take the other piece and the part with the safety pin will go down. Before pushing down, move the base and top to the “b”. swivel it; making sure both are lined up with the “b”, and push down.

For medium buttons

It is exactly the same process, but in this case, you are going to use the blue pieces. Start putting the cutting inserts, which for all three sizes are the same. put the piece of paper, then the blue cutting piece, and press. Remove the cutting inserts, and repeat the process as we did with the small button.

Remember that to make the back part of the button, the piece that has the safety pin has to go down, and the flat part will go up.

First, aligned to “a”, and when making the backing, aligned to “b”.

For large buttons

It is also exactly the same process. But when cutting the paper for this, you actually have to press much harder and a couple of more times to really get through.

That was all about how to use the press button! It is possible to customize the buttons in three different sizes with the same machine, isn’t it fantastic? Let me know your comments below!
