I just snagged one from Joann that was on clearance for only $15!!! I literally could not believe it was so cheap! I was terrified that something had to have been wrong with it but I brought it home and it works great! I’m still in disbelief, I can’t believe I got such a great deal 🤯
Must of been a return box from a customer Most times that’s when you get the expensive item marked 90% off I got one from Micheals they are $99 I got a $30 off coupon
I ordered this when it premiered on HSN, and with all machines there is a learning curve. TFS this tutorial. The reason i purchased was because u had all the sizes available in one.
I ditto this major!!! One out of five worked but not well. It's difficult to believe following the directions exactly produces such different results. I also wonder if the parts are defective - many of the clear plastic discs don't seem to be large enough to wrap around the entire button.
I bought one from Frank Garcia Studio and I used it once but I need to get back on using it and practice I had hand surgery on both hands 1 year 1/2 so my strength on my hand it’s not good yet but won’t give up. I appreciate you doing this tutorial you’re awesome Erica!💕
Omg I am so happy to see u working with them!!!! PLEASE tell them to stock this in Michaels or Canadian craft stores because its SOLD OUT EVERYWHERE!!! Being a Canadian crafter sucks!!!
Thank you for the tutorial. Great job. Just bought mine with a 60% coupon @ JoAnns and the square blanks. Now I have two makers. I purchased a machine from Amazon with limited button size @ 1.5 inch round. Worked really nice..Looking forward to creating buttons with We R Memory machine. The square buttons caught my attention and the coupon.🙂
hey soo initially i did not care for this item and went with the vevor you shared I just received this and Im glad I took the leap ONLY because you share exactly how to use it so it works just fine I tried all sizes and it was easy of course it looks like a hassle you demo all three sizes so a lot of exchange cut using one size repeatedly than another if you like its simple it fast the cut could be better but I use my circle dies thanks for the help be safe
Congrats on your new DT, Erica! They are lucky to have you! I used to collect buttons as a youngster, and I still have my old collection, so fun! Nice tutorial!
GREAT tutorial! I’ve been super skeptical about purchasing this button maker after seeing all the not so great reviews, But you definitely explained it thoroughly, so will give it a try...TFS
I loved your tutorial - my grandson and I watched it together. Very helpful. I had purchased this to make buttons for his upcoming birthday. That said, this product is a disappointment. The included cutter does not cut anything more than copy paper weight. It did not even make a dent or bend in the cardstock after numerous rotations and repeated punching. Of the five round sets included - we were able to make two successfully. Helpful hint - for the medium base, to cut your own paper, use a 2" punch. While I was able to get a piece of Prima cardstock I cut myself it to seal around the edge of the metal base, neither the mylar nor the pin back would clamp in. I am not sure, but I would bet it is the thickness of the cardstock. I have purchased supplies off of Amazon - perhaps they will work better with various paper weights. I would like to at least be able to use photo paper.
Awesome video. I have some buttons that I use with another button press do you know if the memory keeper will work with any buttons as long as they're the same size. Or do I just have to use memory keeper buttons. Thanks.
I think it would be important to mention that if you are using the pin in the back it how it needs to be aligned properly so the badge is not crooked when finished.
@@india2709ab I had the same problem. It turns out I had missed part of the instructions. There are lines in the base when setting it to B to add the backing. You have to line up the pin of the backing with these lines.
I’m sending mine back. Loved the concept of multiple button sizes at an affordable price. Plus your tutorial was fabulous! This button maker is easy to use but fails 3 out of 4 buttons. It either gets caught in plate or doesn’t seal button properly or damages edges. Too much product wasted. I was so sad to have to return. Now I’m on the hunt for a higher quality better failure rate or no fail rate would be even better.
@@broncogurl05 I know, it is late for an answer. I use Badgematic , it is expensive but the best. You can Look at google. It comes with very many Buttons.Greetings !!
What a great video! You couldn't get a better video to explain it all. I saw the WRMK button press on a craft website and wondered how it works. Thanks so much :)
This helped me really much, I only had the medium size but plan to get the other sizes, when I get those I might return here. I got mine from Michaels with a discount and luckily they have all the other parts. I lost the base to cut the shape but regular hole punchers will work.
LOVE that you're working with We R Memory Keepers! Can't wait to see you use many of their products. I'm especially interested in "hacks" like creating different things using the punch boards, etc. I have everything from the Cinch tool to scoring tools. Good luck with it!
Hi Erica I want one and you explain it so well but so many steps, you always make everything look simple. I might get one. Congratulations on the design team! You're awesome, I watch your videos all the time and tell my sister to watch you too.!
Is there a trick to getting the small size to press correctly? I'm wasting so much $$ on failed pins. I follow all the instructions perfectly and 1 out of 5 pins actually presses right. They just kinda go splat if you know what I mean.
Hello, really important question, I have this button press and I love it but the medium size is 1.45in but I want to get a circle punch but I can’t find any with that size only a 1.5 would that still work?
great video! if i ran out from the pin backs, the pin front and the film, can i buy them from a different supplier or i have to use only from We R Memory Keepers? thanks!
Congratulations on your design team, that's awesome. I purchased it but am wondering where other than the website listed can I stalk up on the small med and large buttons? They seem to be sold out. 10 is not enough. Lol.. Thank you so much for the tutorial, your awesome..
@scrapdiva29 I'd hoped that you'd answered her thoroughly, as my query is similar. I am currently purchasing the machine, but my main concern is the ability to find additional parts, as I intend to make many. Can offbrand button parts be used with the machine?
Can u use fabric to make the buttons instead of paper?? What’s the best paper to use as well I want to start doing it!! If u want to make customs buttons does it tell I the size of the circles to print them?
How cute is your son! Amazing tutorial !The buttons look awesome! The machine looks pretty sturdy and I love the size options. I'm glad I waited to get a different brand. I'm thinking...early Christmas 🎁, LOL!🤣💜💜💜
I believe the problem ppl encountered is that if you press down on B the first time the pin won’t stick to the top and you just ruin the pin because the plate bended you will have to start over and make sure you press down on A then B
this product look amazing!! However, what I am worried about, if i make this investment, will they discontinue this product in the future!? and if that was to happen, could we substitute with other fillers etc.
The directions are excellent and easy to follow. On to the machine which has nothing to do with the video. There seems to be a problem with the size matching on the large button discs and the large buttons. The discs seem to be too small. I was lucky enough to get one out of five.
@@ScrapDiva29 adding adhesive to the back of the paper is a great tip. Im talking about the die cutting piece. It looks like it just sits on top of the paper. I guess washi taping it to the paper would solve that. Thanks. 😃 so happy you made their team. I super excited for you.
Hey, and thank you I'm excited to purchase, so l don't have to purchase 3 different machines for different sizes. Is this product out of stock? Congratulations on your partnership.
Hi, new to your channel. I received my button press today. Seems easy enough on the surface, followed your tutorial as i unboxed :). Your large cutting size tip to rotate is supet handy. My 1st sadly didn't work, is there a limit to the thickness of paper or card do you know?
Great question?? I would suggest using 65 pound weight typically normal cardstock weight. Heavy weight might not work.. Haven't tried it with heavy weight card. Thanks for stopping by!! Erica
The only problem with this tutorial is what I came here to try and fix and you don’t discuss it. How on earth do you get the back pin to be straight with the design? Mine are always sideways even while I’m using the lines on the button press to make it “straight”.
Love the New Toy you introduced to us you always make such pretty and cute items. I wanted to know more about how you created that last yellow bow and embellished it? What materials did you use? I think I might have to get a machine for myself😀 Looking forward to seeing more of your creations
I hope you still check this site out I know it's over a year or two old maybe longer but I just recently bought this and I did up 12 buttons which I'm turning into magnets but for some reason under the 12th six of them didn't come out right for some reason there's either an overlap on one side and not enough on the other side with the plastic and I don't know what I did wrong or the plastic itself going around didn't completely adhere do you have any suggestions
I just snagged one from Joann that was on clearance for only $15!!! I literally could not believe it was so cheap! I was terrified that something had to have been wrong with it but I brought it home and it works great! I’m still in disbelief, I can’t believe I got such a great deal 🤯
Wow,,, that’s amazing @ $15.00. I need to go to the clearance section😂 I thought I got a bargain.
:O
I would like to know what brand of paper is best to use?
Must of been a return box from a customer
Most times that’s when you get the expensive item marked 90% off
I got one from Micheals they are $99
I got a $30 off coupon
Same for me I had a 50% coupon and a 15$ voucher it ended up being 25 but I thought the same thing what's wrong with it, but it's 👌
Just purchased mine at Joanns, it's on sale for $69. I'm so excited 😁
Great score there!!
I ordered this when it premiered on HSN, and with all machines there is a learning curve. TFS this tutorial. The reason i purchased was because u had all the sizes available in one.
I was never able to get the large button to neatly wrap under. Your's turned out awesome.
Same here. I think some of the units shipped are defective. I followed the directions exactly, too.
I ditto this major!!! One out of five worked but not well. It's difficult to believe following the directions exactly produces such different results. I also wonder if the parts are defective - many of the clear plastic discs don't seem to be large enough to wrap around the entire button.
Did anyone find a answer to this question? Im having the same problem the plastic does not wrap around the bottom of the button.
Same here

I think it would be important to mention that if you are using the pin in the back it how it needs to be aligned properly so the badge is not crooked when finished.

Thank you for this video Erica! I just received my button press yesterday and your video was so helpful!
Hi, which kind of paper or material do you use? All my designs come out looking a bit dull. Im using regular copy paper
Scrapbooking paper

Have you ordered non “we r” supplies and used it with the press or only then brand buttons
yes, and they work

Thank you so much for this tutorial. What kind of paper did you use?
I enjoyed your tutorial. You did a really good job
Love the last button with the bow. Gonna screenshot to remember.
You definitely made some awesome buttons. The photo one looks great. 💗
Thanks so much 😊
Can you use this to make flair button pins the ones with the flat back for gluing projects?
How do you line up the back with the pin so you don't make an upside pin?
I wondered that also.
Does using a plastic backing make a difference because their not ataying together when we press them togerher
Congrats on the design team. I’m tempted to get this now.
I believe the problem ppl encountered is that if you press down on B the first time the pin won’t stick to the top and you just ruin the pin because the plate bended you will have to start over and make sure you press down on A then B
Literally just ruined two pins bc of this exact reason.
Kinda scared to try a third time
wow that machine is awesome - what a great tutorial Erica - ty so much 🙂❤️
Were can u get more buttons pins ? Do u have to order pins from same brand or can u order different brand
Great job! You make me want to get one!
If I wanted to do just the first part on the metal backer and not put it on a button, would that work?
Thank you for your video, but I can't put a pin back. How to do it? Do you have any idea how to put a base of the button to leave a pin horizontally?
Hi quick question. Is the smallest button smaller than our amazon one inch or bigger. Thanks
.98 inch is the actually size. :)
Thanks
this product look amazing!! However, what I am worried about, if i make this investment, will they discontinue this product in the future!? and if that was to happen, could we substitute with other fillers etc.
It's already virtually impossible to find the buttons parts. Only a year later. No Square buttons to be found anywhere.
Great demonstration! Thank you!
Thank you so much!! Hugs, Erica
The directions are excellent and easy to follow.
On to the machine which has nothing to do with the video. There seems to be a problem with the size matching on the large button discs and the large buttons. The discs seem to be too small. I was lucky enough to get one out of five.
Congratulations! How lucky!! I wish could be part of design team for AMERICAN CRAFT
Nice demo! Congratulations on the DT position! 🎉❤️
Thank you so much!
Thanks for the demo and tips Erica! ❤️
HI Amy!! Thank you so much!! Hugs, Erica
The one that has your son's picture on it what size button is it? I can only find 58mm and I'm looking for a 3-inch button.
Just got mine paid 99 , baby Wait to get started!!!
Thank you for the video you helped me out a lot appreciated so much
How can you unstick the large base and once you’ve unstuck, how do you keep it from sticking again?
Great review and demo. I wish the cutting piece would lock in. Seems like it might float or move during the process. TFS

Can you use cloth with this if I wanted to make button earrings
You make me want one, very cool 😎
Thank you so much!! Hugs, Erica
Do you like it better than your other button maker? Which one would you grab first to create a button with?
Honestly I like both!! If you want to make different size buttons for one project I probably would grab the We R memory keepers one!!
Scrapdiva29 Thanks
Would these work with Layered paper or cardstock /vinyl?
I'm a sewist. Would this work on fabric? I would use this for shirt/clothes buttons.
