Button making Guide

Cut a circle

• Note: 1/4" around the outside of the material will be crimped

Use the Left die to place one outer shell face up in the die, followed by cut material and one mylar cover.

• Note: Ensure that only one outer shell and Mylar are used per button.

• Slide the die to the right under the central assembly unit.

Hold the front of the base and pull the handle forward, pressing firmly against it. The button will remain in the assembly unit as the handle is released.

Use the right die to place one pin back in the die with the safety pin down. Make sure the pin is parallel to the front.

Slide the die to the left under the assembly unit.

Hold the front of the base, pull the handle forward, and apply pressure for crimping action.

Slide the die to the right and remove the finished button

• Note: If the Mylar is not completely crimped around the schell, then more pressure is needed during steps 3 and 6.
