2.25″ Button Maker

Our pin back button maker and die-cutter can be used to make buttons 2.25″ in diameter.
Our button maker is to be used with standard copy paper only (no cardstock or photo paper).

Go to Open Hours Appointments
For designing buttons:
  • The paper circle (printed image) will need to be 2.625 inches in diameter to properly fit the button press
  • For ease of use, we have a die cutter that can be used to punch out a printed image
  • Alternatively, you can draw a 2.625 inch circle (or multiple per letter size sheet) and cut them on the Silhouettes or Brother Scan ‘N Cut
  • Please be aware that the finished button will be smaller than the paper as the edges will need to wrap around the button when pressed.
  • The visible image should be 2.063 inches (this should be centered within the cut edge of the circle).
