- Design your pin.
Use either the smaller (1.5”) or larger (2.5”) paper circles as your template. Keep the design close to the inner circle edge so you will not lose the edge of your design in the press.
- Cut your design to fit the press.
Use either the smaller or larger circle cutter depending on the size pin you are making. (To remove cut design, push up on metal cylinder under the cutter.)
- Use Platform A of the button press to sandwich the top pieces.
On Platform A stack the design of your button in this order:
- Smooth shell on bottom (facing up, like image below)
- Design in middle (facing up)
- Mylar sheet on top
Rotate Platform A under the lever, pull lever toward you and press the pieces together. Press slowly and firmly to get a good fit! Release the handle.
- Use Platform B to attach the pin back to your button design.
On Platform B, place the pin back with the pin back down. Rotate the platform under the lever and press the two pieces together. Again, press slowly and firmly to get a good fit! Release the handle.
- Rotate the base and retrieve your fabulous pin. Wear it with joy!
