How to make a button video

Create your button graphic
- Our button template is easy to use and edit. Bonus is that the circles are the correct size!
- Open the template and edit to make your own custom buttons.
- Replace the existing circle shape with an image and/or text
Print out and prepare your buttons
- Use the Circle Die Cut to precisely prepare your image for the buttons
Place button shell, image, and mylar in the "pick up" (shallow) die. Use the single black line as the center point for the top of the button. Make sure the button shell is sharp side down.
Spin the dies and place the pin back in the "crimp die". Use the double black lines to line up the pin in the correct spot.
Rotate the die clockwise until the "pick up" die is stopped under the handle.
Pull down on the handle until it stops, then lift it up.
Spin the dies counter clockwise until the "crimp" die is under the handle.
Pull down on the handle until it stops.
Spin the dies again to see your completed button!
