How to Make Enamel Pins! // designing, ordering, & tricks for good results //

Hello everyone! Here's the long awaited enamel pins tutorial - I get a lot of questions about how I make my pins, so here's how I do it & lots of tips for making sure they come out great!
Here's where I get all my pins made:
Canadian link: custompins.ca https://bit.ly/3WTzR7i
Main company: GS-JJ https://bit.ly/3GjVlmU
Backing Cards: VistaPrint https://www.vistaprint.com/business-c...

You can grab my new patches and pins on my shop: https://shopjelarts.com/

I package my enamel pins with a glassine bag or a cellobag (glassine is more eco-friendly since it's essentially just paper!)
