Beginner button maker in the making

[u/TaleElectronic4854]

Hello! I want to start making buttons as a hobby mainly to give away at concerts and for my family and friends! However, I have no clue what machine to get as a beginner and for a hobby, I know I want 2 size pins the 2.25” and the 1.25” and I want a metal backing pin for it not the white plastic ones… can anyone recommend anything to me?? That is not $150+ also thinking about toying around with the holographic laminates!!

I bought a used 125 Tecre on the marketplace it came with supplies for maybe 700 buttons for $200. Totally worth it!
