How to make a Mirror Back Button - Video How to use   Paper Recommendation The manufacturer recommended paper weight for best results is 20# - 24#. However 20# - 32# paper stock thickness is usually acceptable. Photo paper is usually too thick to make buttons with for most people. We have had customers tell us they successfully used thick paper like photo paper but it is tricky and more time consuming. To make it possible, the circle you cut needs to be a little smaller in diameter than the mylar for the button size you are making. This makes it easier for the plastic mylar to wrap around the edge of the button and not get stuck in the machine's dies. Origin of Manufacture Button components (mylar, shell, shim, and collet) are manufactured in the USA. The mirror is made in china.
