Hicarer 600 Pieces Blank Button Making Supplies Round Badge Button Parts Metal Button Pin Badge Kit for Button Make Machine, Including Metal Shells Metal Back Cover and Clear Film (1.46 Inches)

These Hicar brand pin making sets are a great value. I have made well over 500 pins so far. I have reordered 2 times already. Keep in mind the 600 pieces actually make about 200 pins. There are a few unusable pins in the kit, I'd say less than 10. They are not quite as "thick" as other brands . They work and fit well with my Chi Brand Button maker .

I see many reviews saying they don't fit or work. I have a "We R memory Keeper" button press size medium. I have made 20 buttons tonight perfect fit no problems and they feel better than the brand name ones I bought with the machine. I think the bad reviews must be users with different machines and should be clear as mine is perfect and I am ordering more of these buttons

Was a little scared about ordering, but they have worked great. Will be ordering more.

I have the FASTOBUY Button Maker Machine (4th Gen) for making 37mm 1.5 Inch buttons. My maker came with the plastic back buttons and works great with those. I’d ordered these metal ones a bit worried that they might not work in my machine but they were good value so thought I’d try them.At first I thought they didn’t work with my machine and I was processing a return, but then as I was packing it all up to send back I saw the black spacer ring and wondered what it was for so I googled it. Apparently because metal backed buttons are thinner than plastic ones you need to use the spacer ring when putting the backs on. I tried it and sure enough they worked. They worked splendidly in fact. You can see in the attached video.Now the plastic film on these is more wrinkly around the edges once they’re made than with the plastic back ones I made previously but I think again it’s because they are thinner at the edges, so there isn’t as much of a round edge for the plastic to wrap around to avoid the wrinkles.That said, we generally just do buttons as free giveaways for conventions so a few wrinkles don’t bother me at all for that purpose. However I wouldn’t necessarily be comfortable charging for or selling buttons with wrinkled edges like that. But then again, it could be just my machine + these button supplies = wrinkly edges, so perhaps my machine just makes plastic back buttons nicer and I may revert back to plastic.All in all I’m happy enough with them, and they’d get 5 stars if a) there was some instruction in the pack saying what the spacer was for and how to use it for those of us new to button making or without experience with metal backed buttons, and b) if they didn’t end up with those wrinkles around the edges.

There should a choice to give zero stars! This product is a waste of time and money! The clear film included is too large for the other parts so they don’t fit. The metal shell doesn’t seal with the metal back. The ones that do, fall apart when you try to put them on.
