Do you have a name that is spelled uniquely? Is it hard to find personalized keychains at a gas station or gift shop?
This fun craft will solve all those problems--with making high quality button pin backs--use them as a name tag or a personal gift tag for those handmade Christmas gifts!
BACKSTORY:
A button maker was in my 10 year old girl's heart.
There was a boy in my class that had a book full of images and he would make you a button with next day delivery at school for one dollar.
I bought one button from him...but desperately wished that I had a button maker myself and could make as many custom button badges as I wanted.
Fast forward to my adult life and I have one, it's one of my favorite things! (I've used another brand as a hand press)
HTVRONT has a super easy to use button maker machine to make all the buttons you can dream of.
They are a great idea for cute tags for your own gift tags...but the button press makes an awesome gift too--plus, if you have the press these buttons are great for last minute gifts!
Any enthusiastic crafter will love a button press too, let's get started making these DIY Christmas gift tags!
Plus, check out how I made this Spongebob Squarepants inspired "I really wish I weren't here right now" button! Video here.
Supplies Needed for Button Maker Gift Tags:
- HTVRONT Button Maker from Amazon or HTVRONT Button Maker from HTVRONT
- HTVRONT Button Pieces (110 button sets included with button maker)
- Printed image (2 1/4") on thin, lightweight paper
- Scissors, 2 1/2" circle paper punch or Circle Cutter
Be sure to watch the step-by-step video too!
Step 1: Button Front
Begin by placing the shiny metal button front in the corresponding spot on the button maker press.
It fits right inside the bright green plastic press.
Step 2: Printed Image
Cut out the printed image that you are turning into a button and place it on top of the pin front.
You can use decorative papers, wrapping paper, or even do a print-and-cut option on your Cricut machine...but keep the paper as thin and lightweight as possible so it folds into the button properly.
Step 3: Mylar
Next, place a clear mylar sheet over the top of the printed image.
Carefully handle it so you don't get finger prints on the plastic.
Step 4: Pin Back
Place the pin back piece on the opposite side of the pin front on the press with the pin back level with the image.
Now the pieces are lined up and ready for pressing.
This process is super easy and simple...great for making custom buttons with an entire classroom of kids as a craft project this holiday season.
It's so much fun to add a button to a gift with some scrap fabric and ribbon tied or hot glue to the bottom of the tag to make it a little more fancy.
Step 5: Rotate and Press
Simply rotate the pin front under the press and clamp down on the lever firmly, making sure it presses down all the way.
Step 6: Pin Back Press
Now rotate the base plate around so that the pin back is under the press.
The pin front will stay up inside the press and line up perfectly with the backing.
Then press down firmly...pretty hard until you hear a pop or feel the pin back and front mesh together.
Step 7: Enjoy!
The last step is to rotate the base plate and pull out the completed button!
It looks amazing in the mylar cover--so shiny and professional!
Now you have the perfect name tag for a social event or party, a fun way to decorate a gift bag with a personalized gift tag, or a fun gift to give to someone that has a hard time finding their name on anything.
That's it!
Making fun gift tag designs and turning them into pin-back buttons is a great way to amp up your tag maker game this holiday season!
Add a personalized button badge, that can be used as a name tag or use other fun gift tag designs instead of pre-made tags taped on gift wrap!
If you know a creative person or need a new toy in the craft room, buy the button maker press, it's so much fun!
