Pinback Buttons sound like they would make great personalized gifts(with name, event and date) for a family reunion, to be kept as keepsakes afterwards.

Hi Jill,
I’m in Oklahoma and have been making dozen of earrings but finding that drilling holes for the dangle wires is quite time consuming. Would you willing to tell me where you find the small hoops that attach to the back of yours?
Thanks for your response, tof designs

Comment on Using Adjustable Circle Cutters for Buttons, Crafts, Projects by ABM

Thanks for your question. It is hard to say as we have never seen this type of paper before. If it is a thicker type paper like photo paper, then you would not be able to use it with a 1.75″ machine. However you could possibly use it with a 2.25″ button machine if you use the photo punch or the adjustable rotary cutter set to the photo punch dimensions of 2.25″. If you would like to send us some samples, we would be happy to test it for you!

I’m interested in using your products to cut out photos from Zink paper used by the Polaroid Pogo camera and printer combo.
The prints are only 2×3. Would your 1.75 in. punch work? Would the adjustable circle cutter work? Will the 1.75 in button maker work allright with the Zink paper thickness (it has an adhesive backing as well) if we can use the adjustable cutter? Thank you for your reply.

Help! Do you have a how-to video that shows you how to use Photoshop Elements 7 or Corel to design a 2″ button?
I bought my machine from you.

Thank you for the feedback Joyce, glad you are enjoying your circle cutter! You are right, changing sizes is very easy. All you need to do is loosen the top quick release knob and slide the cutting shaft to the size you need. We will try and incorporate how easy it is to change cutting sizes on our next video!
