How to Make a Round Pinned-Back Button (Quick Steps)

1. Identify the crimp die and the pickup die.
2. Rotate the die table so the crimp die is positioned under the upper die.
3. Insert a shell into the pickup die (sharp edge facing down). Place the graphic on the shell, then place the mylar on top.
4. Rotate the die table one-half turn clockwise until the stop is against the outer column.
5. Pull the handle down fully, then return it to the rest position.
6. Place a pinned back into the crimp die (sharp edge facing up).
7. Rotate the die table one-half turn counterclockwise until the stop is against the outer column.
8. Pull the handle down fully, then return it to the rest position.
9. Rotate the die table clockwise to remove the finished button.

Tip: For best alignment, keep your graphic orientation consistent and ensure the transfer components are seated cleanly before pressing.
