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 bit.ly/3WTzR7i
Main company: GS-JJ bit.ly/3GjVlmU
Backing Cards: VistaPrint www.vistaprint.com/business-c...
You can grab my new patches and pins on my shop: 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!)

THANK YOU for being transparent about your manufacturer. so many artists are gatekeepey about this.

Dude I've been scouring for HOURS trying to figure out what the best use. I read comments while the ads run and seen yours and I will fully watch this video 👍 she already seems great

How do you design the pins

@JelArts 5 месяцев назад

@@katerilevasseur8119yes it was sponsored by them! But, I've used their services for years for all my enamel pins before they ever sponsored me, so I can recommend them for sure!!

@bennettpisek5566 3 месяца назад

Thank you JelArts for taking your time to give an honest, and professional analysis of GS-JJ, and your experience with them, and Vista Prints. It is nice to know a company like GS-JJ has so many product services, and that service is worth using. Time is a precious commodity; especially when freelancing. So being able to rely on someone like yourself, is very much appreciated. My best.😊

Plenty of helpful tips. Thank you for sharing and your time.

@ktmarshwa Год назад

I just instantly wanted to start off with 1.75 with 7+ colours and screen printing because it fit my design and honestly it was the right decision. They look beautiful and I'm glad I was confident with that. I forgot to put my name on the engraving and the backing card but marker can solve that for now

@ktmarshwa Год назад

Also I quality checked them and I was shocked to find literally every single one was pristine

@alejandra57 Год назад

you can actually make homemade enamel pins, however it does take a lot more time. one method is acid etching with something like ferric chloride or a muriatic acid / hydrogen peroxide mix and then hand painting and soldering the pin tack

@the_7th_sun 10 месяцев назад

theres also electro etching

@Frank-os6gq 10 месяцев назад

Thats awesome, i like yoir designs. What program are you using to draw them on? And are you using a digital pen and pad?

@shuchani7496 10 месяцев назад

this was a very informative video!! would you have to draw your art on a small canvas such as 2x2 inches or smaller bc your pin is small?

@CAFEkatArt Год назад

I kinda jumped right into wanting to design pins n there’s so many things to consider that I would have never thought of. Also design wise what do u do differently for patches? When creating a pin design do u create the image as high resolution as u can n then put together a order info sheet? Im tryin to figure out the entire process

@WycckaArt Год назад

THANK YOU!!

@JelArts Год назад

No problem!

@findingmemo8852 11 месяцев назад

Do you use a digital Pantone book so you can give the correct colours? Or do you own one. Because they’re not quite affordable.. or do you think a hex-tone/hex is good enough?

@fuzzydragons Год назад

I want to make enamel pins, but Im scared i wouldn make any money off therm, maybe make a kickstarter for them would work aww that dino is really cute!

@molambird Месяц назад

do you get the mold too or do they store em in case you want to make more?

@mitra3021 Год назад

Do you have an "invitation code" to the manufacturer you've linked? I'm not sure if that benefits you but if it does I will sign up using it :) since you helped us all out

@EeveeKat035 10 месяцев назад

Any tips for someone just looking to order 3-5 pins? I've been dying to grab some custom ones of my characters for my friends and I, but every manufacturer I find either has a minimum quantity or a minimum charge that's out of my price range. Is buying on a small scale a viable option or do I just need to make pins from scratch? If it helps I've been wanting to make about 5-10 different designs and purchase around 4 of each. One for me, one for my friend, and two extras incase the first ones break or go missing. Thanks in advance!

@karenalleluia 2 месяца назад

The mould process is so expensive for manus so I doubt you can get an affordable rate for less than 10qty. I think your best best bet would be to get acrylic pins made

@MatthewHutchins Месяц назад

Are you sending a vector image to the manufacturer or a normal image?

@maep6422 Год назад

If you have a pin reprinted at a later date, do they charge you for the mold again?

@JelArts Год назад

That's a good question! They hold onto your mold for a while so you shouldn't be charged if you order within a certain time frame

There should be one in the procreate default brushes!

Thank you for this video! So helpful!!! Do you happen to know a manufacturer for enamel necklace charms? Haven't found any recommendations around. Thank you again!

You might be able to inquire from this company if they can custom make something like that for you!

@paulaschmiedel2774 Год назад

What file type do you use to send your artwork?

@JelArts Год назад

I just send a .jpg since I've had good results with them vectorizing everything themselves! Some artists send vector files or illustrator files to have complete control over the lines.

@anushreen9639 6 месяцев назад

Hi. What brush do you suggest on procreate to use

@JelArts 6 месяцев назад

The maxpack brushes are my favourite! There's tons to choose from and they all feel great to paint with.

@lildee_w6254 2 месяца назад

Do you use anything else after creating the design in procreate?

@JelArts 2 месяца назад

Some people like to vectorize their designs but I just send them the JPG, personally! It might depend on the manufacturer.

@notaddi3 Год назад

Hello! How do you/where do you make your art prints?

I used to use Mixam print until their prices kept rising, so now I use a local Canadian printer called The Printing House! I also sometimes print from home.

I want to start selling enemal pins but I don’t have a audience, are there any cheaper options out there?

@JelArts 7 месяцев назад

I don't think so since it's hard to get around the mold charge! You could try to slowly build an audience and sell stickers/prints for now until you have enough eyes for pins. Some artists also do kickstarter drops and get a lot of new eyes on their products that way (like pins, plushies, books, etc!). Stickers are easy to start with since you just need a colour printer, sticker paper, and scissors!

@orionwolfie2015 8 месяцев назад

I wish I could make just one singular pin without having to spend $99.. It's not for reselling it's just for me qq

@JelArts 8 месяцев назад

Yeah, the problem is that they have to make a custom mold of your design, which is an expensive process.
