How to order ACRYLIC CHARMS from VOGRACE.COM 

I'm happy to know someone else feels the same pain! But also sad you feel that pain 😆 Hopefully someday, someone will come out with a website where we can just order enamel pins without the quoting process 😭

Ohhh shitttt you’re totally right. My mind blanked on that. Thanks for letting me know!!!!

@@Tomatoda no worries! I do that all the time when I’m planning! You’re not the only one 😂😂😂

@@eisleyish Hope you don't mind I pinned your comment! in case other people were thinking about order beginning of October xD

@@Tomatoda no problem! Anything to help! 😊

this actually made sense 😭 thxx

If you watch my other Vograce video, u can see the quality of the actual shaker charms up close in case that might help you make your decision too ^^;; cuz honestly, their shaker department doesn't seem to be as nice as their regular acrylic charms just yet

that is so sweet! xD thank you for watching!!!

xD thank you so much! And good luck >_< I've learned that scanning traditional art to the computer is actually pretty complicated! My first and only attempt was pretty bad, so I hope that your attempt goes better!!

No problem! ☺️

I'm so glad it helped! :D

thank you 🥰

thanks for watching! I'm working on an updated version that's hopefully better than this tutorial xD

@@Tomatoda thanks! Do you think you’ll do standees?

@@spooky_lizbean1050 I actually do want to but last time I looked it seemed like I had to contact them to get it customized? Maybe later this year I’ll try it out

I have an updated video now… well not recently updated but a better video I guess? But yeah, I love how you don’t have to make your own cut lines cuz I don’t know how to do that lol.

Thank you so much! So the largest zip file I have is 4mb! If the error keeps happening, I think you might have to contact them >_

Yes! I think you can as long as they're the same type of acrylics and the same size (like rainbow, holo, 3d etc.). But if they are different type of acrylics or size for each design, the discount will not work. So if you order 16 holo acrylic pieces in 1.5 inches, but they have 16 different artwork, that means every ONE acrylic is a different design right? so no duplicates? As long as you file it correctly, I'm sure it should work... cuz it kind of implies that you can do that on their website? I go over it in 13:49 - 16:47 in case it might be a better explanation. Previously, I've ordered 112 of the same type/size charms that contain 7 different designs and it was ok. But I've never tried 16 charms with 16 different designs before so I cant say 100% for sure >_< hope that somewhat answers your question!

I think ink it labs and zap creatives are other well known websites that make acrylic charms! I believe one is US based and one is UK based? so the prices would be higher but I've heard some good things about them too (in regards to acrylic charms only).

So you can actually make cmyk files with procreate! cuz that's how I did it. I dont know about CSP tho. ^^;; What I did was I made a cmyk canvas and copy and pasted my sRBG drawing into that CMYK canvas... and let me tell you, CMYK colors are disappointing :( . It mutes blues and pinks and other bright colors. Soooo after I pasted it into CMYK I had to edit it to make the dull colors brighter. I mean yeah, you don't HAVE to convert if you don't want to, like they'll still be able to print it, but don't expect it to look the same >_

@@Tomatoda oh alright ! thank you

yeah cuz I guess Vograce's printers only print in cmyk? so like.. u CAN submit it rbg, but when you receive the product, you're gonna get it in CYMK colors and its gonna be a surprise xD I didnt think much of it at first but when I converted my drawings, the colors were much bleh and some glowy parts turned into harsh outlines. So bottom line, I do recommend you converting it yourself so you know the results youre going to get and to make adjustments before submitting. As for how to convert files to CYMK outside of photoshop or procreate... I have no idea T_T sorry. I suggest googling "medibang cymk" or something

I specifically wrote no hole so they wouldn't think that I accidentally forgot to add the "x hole layer". But the first time I ordered, the person still confirmed if I really meant no hole ^^;; I mean it's better to be safe than sorry. But yep! There is absolutely no hole anywhere.

Yeah ^_^;; it might take some time. Usually they will email you within a week, but last time I accidentally ordered during the lunar holiday so it took like 2 weeks+ to get my email hahahaha oops

Jpeg is best

I glue backings onto them to make hair ties, hair clips, badge reels, phone grips, and car vent clips for now! :D

yeah, it's quite a bit of an initial investment ^^;; thank you for watching!

1) I believe yes? I dont see why it wouldn't work out? but ahhh >_< it's been a while so I cant be 100% sure. sorry! But I'm gonna lean towards yes. 2) when they say 2.5" it means the longest length. so for your case, you'd have to get a charm that's 3.5" long.

@@Tomatoda Ooo thank you so much for your help !! I am so grateful ! Ok I'll make some research but I will still try to send the zip file just in case XD Have a nice day ~

hope u dont mind I copy and paste my answer 😅 "There’s actually video tutorials from other artists who show u how to do it more legitly, but me as a noob did this: when u hit the + at the top right corner to open a new canvas, you’ll see another + inside a dark rectangle. From there u can edit the canvas size, color profile, etc for your new canvas. Make the canvas CMYK and all that jazz. Then your new CMYK blank canvas will appear. Copy your art and paste it into the blank cmyk canvas. You’ll notice the colors changing 😭 if it’s ok then that’s that. if u are not happy with the color changes, u can copy and paste layer by layer and try to edit the color to ur liking. Then combine them all together. Although I think the new procreate update has a saturation changer built in now. Maybe tinker with that. But yeah the color change from rbg to cmyk is no fun :("

@@Tomatoda I ended up figuring it out, thank you so much!!💕

they have an option to buy only one charm from what I saw last time so I dont think they would send samples, but more like u just buy one (which also means u gotta pay for shipping.. and I remember it was like $6 shipping for one charm? 😬 my memory's not 100% accurate tho). I was also on a budget too but I went ahead and bought shit in bulk my first time cuz that would've been cheaper than buying samples first... and I was thinking if it's bad, I'll complain and hopefully they'll just resend me a new batch? (BUT I dont even know if that's actually how they'll handle the situation 😅 so its risky!) I also bought single charms with different effects as my way of sampling their product with my first order. I mean everything came out great for me personally. I reviewed my very first batch two videos before this one if you wanna see how that went. I mention towards the ends how many had flaws out of however many I got and what the flaws kind of were. I think if you are ok with waiting for samples and u can spend a little bit more $ for the samples you should do that. But if you are on a schedule and there's no room for extra spending, just.. yolo and pray for the best 😭

cmyk colors are the correct colors for printing with Vograce :D

For the acrylic charms, you don’t need a template (unless it says so in the description but that is rare). I’ve never had a picture printed on a charm but…. I think it should work fine?

???? you're suppose to submit them as psd files

@@Tomatoda so I had thought, it's just that on vograce itself, for multiple designs in one order it shows them as png files so I was asking to make sure.

@@imaniqbal9510 🤔 That's weird they would do that. Hoping it's just a mistake they overlooked and not like a new requirement. cuz back when submitted them, I sent them psd files in a zip folder... so I think you should be good!

Thank you! I did open it on photoshop just to double check the layers. Also if I use a template, I arrange it using photoshop. But in terms of drawing, it was all on procreate!

I haven’t ordered from vograce in like a year or something so I don’t know if anything has changed since, but when this video was made, you can order one of each design. The total has to add up to 15 for the discount. So u can order 15 individual designs. I have a 2022 tutorial that might make more sense? I think. It’s on the 12:53 mark ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ycdVZ8Kpj84.htmlsi=GZ92x7FVEOgahBY8

Thank you so much for the information!@@Tomatoda

no, sorry, I cant seem to find the option for standard shipping :(

I believe so! I remember seeing somewhere they listed the price of shipping for one charm and stuff.

They made it for me :)

@@Tomatoda thank you!

They’re actually Chinese! So the probably would ship to the UK. I think?

Hmmmm 🤔 that I don’t exactly remember, but I think it took about a month to arrive?

@@Tomatoda Awesome, thanks so much!

Email them! But usually they will email you a proof with their cut line before production (they always should, but I’ve heard one person said they didn’t so whoever at vograce was in charge of that project fucked that up). And if you see double cut lines (yours and theirs) tell them the situation and they will most likely ask you to re-submit the file!

@@Tomatoda thank you so much! Hopefully I'll get a response soon ^^

I think it should work unless they recently changed their policy or something. But their website never stated (at the time I made this video) you had to order 3 minimum charms for each design. So you can order 3 charms total and give them 3 designs and you’ll end up with one - one - one - different charms. In the past I’ve ordered something on their website where the minimum was 6. And I ordered only 6 but gave them 2 different designs so I ended up with 3-3 different products. Hope that makes sense. I know numbers r being flown around everywhere 😭

@@Tomatoda Ohh! Good to know, I'm going to try it out! :D

@@annieiley hope it works out!!!!!! 😊

If u watch the file and sizing section (there’s a time stamp in the description box) I go over the layers and export files on procreate through my iPad. So u don’t really need to order on the PC, but I just find it easier to look at 😅. Don’t forget to make your background layer invisible too!

Whoops my bad. The section is called layering and sizing*

@@Tomatoda ah ok! thank youuuu i love your art btw ^^

@@liay8658 thank you so much! ☺️

@@Tomatoda heyy again,sorry if i can keep asking questions but how do you change the colour to CMYK? (Is that how u spell it idk i forgot lmao)

Yes! And they're gonna send me the missing jawffrey keychain. I'll mail it to u guys when I get it :D

they turned out great! just as I imagined 😁I have a short video of some of them here on my instagram: instagram.com/p/CIOnta4ATMp/?
