About the Button Maker

The button maker kit includes a 2 1/4 inch sized punch, an adjustable rotating blade, and button supplies.

Staff Recommendation

Print more images than you think you'll need, in slightly different sizes, with plenty of space around the edges! Getting your images to look right in a finished button usually takes some trial and error, so be prepared to edit your design as you go. Color printers are available in the main area of the library.
