Button Makers

Two American Button Machines are available: one produces 2.25” and the other 1.25” size buttons.

If you are making 25 or fewer buttons, use our supplies. We have everything you need except the art – and here’s the recommended template. If you are making more than 25, or want a different size or type of back, order your materials in advance here for the large button maker (2.25) and here for the small button maker (1.25). It’s important to use supplies directly from American Button Machines in order to achieve the best results.

(If time is short, we may be able to spot you some supplies until you can get an order in. Give us a call at 437-9880 ext. 231 (Caroline) or 228 (Mary).)
