How to Use a Multi-Size Button Maker - Featuring the Aiment Brand

[@oicee7274]

Marilyn, thank you for posting.. I almost threw this thing away until I saw you jiggle the slider... It made ALL the difference for me!!❤

[@oicee7274]

oh....about the round cutters.... I hold my left hand or a finger firmly on the middle, then go a little back and forth to make sure it cuts through the paper.If you don't it tends to slide and ugh.. but I like it.

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

I have ended up really loving this button press. I actually enjoy using it more than the heavy metal one that I have. I'm so glad the video was helpful!

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

I might have to give the cutter another try:) Thank you for letting me know what you do to work it.

[@Nonyab156]

Im sure you probably figured this out by now but for the large press like you demonstrated you can slide the bottom part in then put the top piece in afterwards since it does have that problem of the plastic touching. I have two smaller sizes and its not an issue only with that larger size. Cool video😊

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

Thank you Natalie!

[@robertmcknight8357]

Question. I see your instructions on the work space. Where did you get them in English? Mine are in Chinese.

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

They came in the box with the one I received. Thanks so much for watching.

[@kalix270]

I seem to have problem with my machine. The 2 parts wont merge on the last step.

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

On the last step, I have to push it down until I almost have something like a "click" feel. Like it goes down, but has to seat itself and I can feel a slight difference in how it feels when I push it for that very last "click" like step. I wish I could explain it better, but that's what comes to mind when I think about how that last step feels. I hope it starts working better, or else I would send it back if you are still within the send back timeframe.

[@kalix270]

@@MakingwithMarilyn i feel mine is faulty. Already on the process of my return. I feel like ive reached that last force to excert on the last step coz if I pull the lever more I think it could break. That is why I watched several videos. None seem to excert more force than what I do yet their pins are fine.

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

@@kalix270 I’m glad you are still able to return it.

[@mossypop]

OH MY GOODNESS 11:35 THIS IS WHERE ALL MY FRUSTRATION WAS FROM... I agree that it's a design flaw, my instructions did NOT come with any information about this step and it was ENFURIATING to work with. Excellent and very helpful video, thank you !

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

Thanks so much!!!

[@cherylring656]

Did you notice that someone else said you can slide in the bottom piece first and then add the top piece so that the slider doesn’t get stuck on the one bar. Brilliant!

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

@@cherylring656 yes, great idea

[@wafful5456]

actually, you are supposed to push down the bottom piece in order to get it past.

[@robertmcknight8357]

If you push up on the top piece and down on the bottom it will slide into place.

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

Thank you so much! I finally figured it out😊

[@dominiqueelliott7026]

Finally found a video that shows me in detail how to work this crazy thing! Thank you so much for posting

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

Awww, thank you so much!!! I'm glad it was helpful.

[@Bro.BRANDON-ir1sj]

OMG ... thank you so much. I can now share this with my students ... we ate making buttons!!!!!

[@FrankLems]

Marilyn, if you use buttons with a metal back you must put in the gasket first. The white plastic back don’t need the gasket. Gr. Frank

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

Thank you so much!

[@SherlockSparrow]

I came here to find this exact info so thanks for that! The machine I got was second hand a different model but no gasket so I wondered if I could still use it. Looks like I can just with plastic backs. Thanks!

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

@@SherlockSparrow I’m glad it was helpful.

[@feliciacrafting3023]

@@SherlockSparrow does is not work at all with metal ones and no gasket?

[@feliciacrafting3023]

have you tried metal pins without the gasket?

[@nikkibudgets9013]

Hiii! Fellow Bazaar vendor here! You can totally bring the shirts you press! They don't have to be handstitched by you to come along! I had a minor panic attack as I am a storefront pop-up experience and don't hand craft ALL of my items but from what I understand as long as you are not partaking in MLM sales or selling items that are not handcrafted but under the illusion that they are you will be ok! You hand press and create those tees. That is crafted by you!!!

[@marianneciovacco8565]

Marilyn, this is a wonderful tutorial- I am so intrigued by this product.

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

I did a video on one that had all metal parts as well. You might check it out also. This green one made great buttons for me, though.

[@yazzleo913]

Great video, do you have a video designing cricut machine, so no what size it would be?

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

Do you mean have a printed and cut button templates from Cricut DS? You could definitely do that. I have at least 3 sizes of button press attachments, so the size will vary. If you cut your design the same size or slightly smaller than the plastic circle cover that comes with your button accessories, you should be fine.

[@mz.fabulous17]

I have this button maker. If I place my picture with the top facing the little knob and the back with the the top facing the little knob my buttons will come out crooked. I had to keep placing the back at different angles until I found the right angle where the button, once pressed is correct. It's a working progress to get the button back to line right. I had to mark the exact spot to place the back with 2 small dots.

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

Thank you so much! That is a great idea to put the small dots on it to know it's lined up well!!!

[@afreshlifestyle]

Can you make magnet with this machine or just pin badge? BTW, the round black rubber is used if you are using a metal back.

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

To my knowledge, you cannot use it to make magnets. Thank you for letting me know about the black rubber piece!

[@septembervirgo3723]

Hi Marilyn, I loved your video and your buttons were lovely I have a similar machine to this and what you need to do is hold the machine down with your left hand to stabilise it then pull the handle with your right hand, it’s so easy when you know how. I made a mistake with those horrid cutters by taking the safety foam off while I adjusted it and sliced my finger, it was my own fault but I really don’t like them, much better to get a circle punch. Best wishes from England xx

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

I have really fallen in love with this little button maker!!! The buttons come out beautiful every time and I like that you can make multiple sizes with it. Yes, those little cutters seem to come with almost every button press and are a little dangerous:)

[@TheCode-X]

This video demonstrated my first experience with a similar model, i need to figure out why my buttons falls apart, but what i did not made was cutting the image with the little gadget, maybe that was the reason

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

I will pull the button maker out soon and do another video showing all the steps more closely.

[@amari_jayden2015]

I’m going to use this video to make my button pins Saturday my mom ordered me the same button machine off of amazon❤

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

Enjoy! I think the buttons are such a fun thing to make. It takes a bit to get the feel of it, but when you do, it's great!

[@cherylring656]

Thank you so much. This was a great video. Do you have other videos or know of a button maker Facebook support group about supplies and other things you can make besides plain buttons.

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

I do not but I would love to find a FB group on button making. I hadn't thought about that but it would be great. I don't think I have any other videos on this button maker.

[@wherethejourneybeginschann9041]

hi thank you for the video... do you recomend that machine for making button pins business? thank you

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

I've used two types of button makers. Plastic ones like this and Vevor heavy metal ones. I like the fact that the heavy metal ones will last super long, but I have found that this one consistently makes better buttons. If I played around with the heavy one more, I would probably get into a rhythm. I absolutely love this button maker but I haven't used it enough to know how it would hold up with heavy business use.

[@wherethejourneybeginschann9041]

@@MakingwithMarilyn thank you for time and effort..god bless

[@PromezQueen]

Out of all the videos you helped me I was frustrated with this machine thanks so much 🥰

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

Thanks so much Kasha!!!

[@vivianbeasley]

Oof I'm following the video but I'm afraid to push down on the lever--it creaks like it's gonna break! Does it just sound like that because it's made of plastic?

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

I don't really remember mine making a creaking noise. After using this button press for awhile, I am actually really impressed with it. I thought my metal ones would do a better job, but I have found my plastic one to do really well.

[@spyrorocks346]

Oh wow that is a cool gadget I love the images you are using Marilyn

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

Thank you Gloria!!!

[@paskalinemasecko1376]

Hiiii can I use this with any shape molds?

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

No, it just works with round shapes.

[@paskalinemasecko1376]

@@MakingwithMarilyn thanks

[@mindiegoodrich4963]

Need some advice - it won't go all the way around the plastic part with the pin. It's about 3/4 of the way - and it just falls off. Help!

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

I am getting ready to do another button video and will show the process step by step. Hopefully that will help.

[@amari_jayden2015]

I’m so sorry i was been supposed to say this but Thank you so much for helping me with this ❤

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

Thank you for watching!

[@genevrablack819]

I'm using the same machine! For some reason the picture + backing refuses to stick to the pin side. I can push it onto the pin side myself, but the plastic covering is all loose and falls right off. What am I doing wrong? :(

[@genevrablack819]

I got it! I wasn't pressing it hard enough. I was scared it would break!

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

Glad to know you got it to work. I have had a few questions on the button presses and so am going to make another video.

[@cherylring656]

Also I love those images. The owl one is so cute!! May I ask where those files came from? I will subscribe to your channel too and check if you have any other videos

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

I am pretty sure they images were in a sticker file I got on Creative Fabrica.

Wow I haven't made buttons in years but it probably would've been nice to have a gadget to help with the process! Lol thanks for sharing! 🥰

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

My daughter always wanted a button maker when she was a kid. She's a young adult now, but I think we'll have fun playing with it together next time she visits. Thanks for watching!

[@MAHWL]

Yes !! You will both have fun with it! And you're so welcome!

[@KimberlyElchlepp]

What printer did you use to print your images?

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

I used an Epson EcoTank 2800. And I used a nice paper that works well with photos and images.

[@steveglitter]

How has the machine held up so far? I'm gonna make lots so durability is very important to me

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

It has held up well, but I've only made 110 - 125 buttons. I have another press (vevor) that is metal and I assume it will last longer, but I really don't know for sure.

[@DODy-stare]

Good night, my friend. Really good performance. Keep it up. I wish you constant happiness and continuous success. First comment and first thing.👍👍👍💋💋👍

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

Thank you very much.

[@rachelbrown7739]

I know this is old, but the instructions tells you to push down on the mold to get it to past that part.

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

Thanks Rachel.

[@rachelbrown7739]

⁠no thank you! I was about to throw my maker against the wall until I watched your video. It helped me see what I was doing wrong because my picture wasn’t gripping the backing. You saved me!💜

No it's not. I have another press (Vevor) that is metal.

Too funny Tracy! There is a learning curve, but then it's actually fun.

[@giovannamcdavid4051]

The first thing she did was put it together wrong it slides from right to left, not left right that’s why she couldn’t get it to go all the way through and number two you have to make sure that the little tabs are right

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

Thank you for clarify this.
