What does the Makerspace provide?
We provide the button maker and button parts. The button parts for each size button include a metal front, metal pin-back (with a no-snag jeweler’s pin and safety clasp), and a clear, plastic cover. Button parts are sold in the following sizes:
| Cost | Size |
|---|---|
| $.15 | 1 ¼” |
| $.25 | 2 ¼” |
To cut your design to the correct size, the Makerspace provides circle paper punches for each button size.
How do I use it?
Makerspace Staff will instruct the use of the machine. *Call in advance to ensure availability.
What do I need to bring?
Bring your designs (printed or drawn) on standard copy paper. Buttons cannot be created with paper any thicker than standard copy paper. This will jam the machine.
