FAQ
1. WHAT IS A PREORDER?
Pre-Orders guarantee that you will receive the item. However, you are purchasing them while they're still in production. When you purchase a pre-order item, you are expecting the item to arrive in 2-4 weeks after purchasing.
2. INTERNATIONAL ORDERS
Please note that international shipping does NOT include tracking. If you want trackable shipping, email the shop owner at [email protected] (trackable shipping is $10+ depending on area).

6. HOW DO YOU MAKE YOUR PINS/ WHERE CAN I MAKE MY OWN?
- All of the artwork is done by me. I use the programs Adobe Illustrator & Photoshop. You can download these online through Adobe's website.
- I’ve gotten many questions on how I learned to use these programs. I learned through taking classes in both high school and college. However, there are many tutorials and guides online. A quick Google search can definitely tell you all you want to know!
- If this is your first time making pins, I suggest going through an American based company. They can help you out, give you suggestions, and even digitalize your artwork if you need help. A quick Google search of "custom enamel pins" will bring up several U.S. based companies. The benefit of using U.S. companies is that they can give you suggestions on what works and doesn't work and also draw your artwork if needed.
- U.S. companies work as middlemen. They outsource their manufacturing. After going through them and understanding the process, you may want to seek a direct manufacturer.
- No, I will not tell you who my current manufacturer is. Making pins is a learning process.
- Remember: Google-sensei is you're friend!
