Dyna-Living Badge Maker Machine 58mm(2.28in) DIY Round Pin Badge Making Kit

I really like this badge maker, it's sturdy and works well.The maker arrived fully assembled and ready to go, no setting up or messing around required. You get the machine itself, 200 badges (metal fronts, plastic backs, films and precut paper discs should you want to use them), some allen keys for disassembly (I'm assuming to swap dies to other sizes because it's not shown in the instructions), a circle cutter and very sparse instructions.I've had a bit of practice time and once you figure out the alignment and make sure you push tight enough when pressing the badges it's very consistent.I've found that although not written in the instructions but shown in the images, you need to line up your badge design with the top at approximately 1 o'clock and the badge back horizontal. Using this I've had good success with badges that line up once pressed. You have to push down the handle quite a bit when making them, children would struggle with this so have an adult handy if you're crafting with the kids!The cutter isn't great, if you can get a 2" (50mm) punch as it will save you a lot of headaches and possible accidents.The pics attached are a doodle on the supplied paper and a doodle on the inside of the film without any paper for a nice translucent metallic effect.I can't fault the value here, if you want to get into badge making this is a great start.

My daughter loves this, loves making her own designs.Easy to setup and easy to operate.

Arrived the next day before 13:00 through Prime, very straightforward and easy to use, messed up a few times in the beginning and when rushing and placing the clip upside down. Very happy with it and can say it is quite fun to use.

My 12 year old bought this with her pocket money savings and it’s been awful. The plastic covering for the badge fails so you can’t make the badge and the parts used can’t be used again. The artwork she’s created for the badge is also ruined. We’ve missed the 30 days to return by a matter of days so my daughter is gutted that her money has gone to waste and there’s no way of contacting the manufacturer from the research I’ve done 😡 DON’T buy

Excellent quality. Strong and sturdy. This is brilliant. I bought 2 for my daughters and they haven't looked at anything else. This machine is easy to use and comes with plenty of badges and precut pages to design your own pins. Comes with a cutting tool that is easy to use to cut printed pictures or images from magazines etc. I would highly recommend this machine for anyone looking to make their own pins at home.

Great machine - great quality - lots of fun .

- machine works well- everything suppliedBut:- the pins at the back of the badges, do not clip easily back into the badge hook

The badge maker itself does a really good job, the circle cutter is too flimsy.
