The button maker kit includes a hand-press style button maker, a paper cutter to cut out 2.25″ circles (and a small square of thick cutting mat), and some button pieces (front, back, and clear plastic cover).

If you plan on making more than just a few buttons, please order a set of button supplies. From Amazon, a supply kit for 100 buttons costs about $40. If you do not need that many, consider contacting another library scheduled to borrow the button maker and splitting the cost of the supplies.
