I hope this is the right place ^^;;
Hello. My friends and I were thinking of buying a button machine, for future uses. Recently, we all got really addicted with buttons, and we wanted to make some of our own :]

The problem is, we don't know which ones are good or bad. I've seen a lot of button machines online, but I'm not sure which store is reliable. So, anyone have any recommendations of any online stores for a button machine? Also, what's a good size for a small button?

Thank you! :D

I don't make buttons to sell, but just to give to friends or for myself.  Generally I go with the 2 1/4" size.  I find the 1" size doesn't show enough detail.  Since I only make a few at a time, I have a hand-held one but I've seen larger machines that you can make more on so you don't get as tired.  I have a Badge-a-Minit maker, here is the site, but you can get advice from other button makers who I'm sure will post:

Life is too important to take seriously.  Seriously.

Cool :D Thank you for the link ^_^ My friends were just planning to make some for fun as well. Also to help fund raise for our club, if possible ^^;;

I was sort of thinking about this site:

because while I was walking around the AA, I saw a lot of people using this kind of machine. But I wasn't sure where they got them from XD
