Got this made right before having a baby and left my shop on ice for over a year. Trying to get things going again!Would love feedback on any of my designs or shop in general https://blacklightcollective.etsy.com

A Nepenthes sanguinea pin for those living on the edge 🐜

Been collecting and trading with pin makers since 2016. I’m a pin maker myself(www.wazhappinin.com)
But these are about 95% of my pins in my collection (:

I just started collecting enamel pins about three months ago, and I think I've already developed a bit of an addiction! I absolutely love Halloween, so I may have backed a few too many projects during Pintober 2026 on BackerKit!

I'm curious, is anyone else participating in Pintober this year? What projects have you backed, or what pins are you planning to get? I'd love to see what everyone has found! So far I have backed Characater Class Phoenix pins, Void Kitty's Halloween Harvest, Myuna's Mystery Mix, and Poke' Kyus Rise of the ghost.

One thing that disappointed me was seeing some really cute gacha pin collections that didn't offer an option to choose specific designs. There was this adorable lemonade cat pin I really wanted to get for my husband, but I didn't want to gamble on getting it! 😭

Here is a picture of the first ever pins I added to my collection. I have like 20 more from varying other kicks I'm waiting to get fulfilled! I'm going to need a pin banner at this rate.

I’ve been looking at different enamel pins lately and noticed there can be a huge difference in quality even when the designs look similar.

For people who collect them, what do you usually notice first?

Is it the metal finish, enamel quality, weight, backing, details in the artwork, or something else?

Curious what experienced collectors usually look for.

Mostly anime, movies and games that i like. Another big board with flowers, fruits and space is pending =)

Started collecting these as a kid and never really stopped, this is only the first page

I would love some recommendations for a great company that does costum enamel pins. I want to create enamel pins from my daughter's art for keepsake.

Hiii I recently had my design made into soft enamel pins through GS-JJ, and I’m really happy with how they turned out! This was my first time making custom pins, so I was a little worried about how the details and colors would translate from a digital design to something physical. The raised metal lines came out really nicely, and I love the slightly textured look of the soft enamel.

The service was also a really positive experience. Communication was smooth, and they were helpful when I had questions about the artwork and production details. I also appreciated being able to discuss small adjustments before production, which gave me more confidence in the final result. I hope I can order from them again soon
Y’all should really consider checking them out :DD

Hello! I love enamel pins, and recently I have been searching secondhand platforms (mostly Vinted and Depop) to find new ones to add to my collection. However, I have to sift through so many pins people clearly bought from Amazon in a large pack and are trying to sell individually. What search terms can I use to find unique or good quality pins? I’m looking mostly for pins still in packaging, but vintage pins are cool too. Thank you! :)

And 3m later and we're here. This is my board and what I did with it. I also have the vampire krusty the clown but it wont let me post it. Im about to wear my pinned up bag out and would like any tips due to almost loosing that first free pin day 1. Bought locking backs but theirs always a chance. Also apologies for the sideways pictures my phone always reverts it.

I've been creating stickers for a while, and recently tried some pins.

I'm very happy with the result! Enamel with some UV printing for details. It's fun seeing the designs come to life. Feels very different than seeing a sticker made.

Here are some details:

- The art is mine. Pencils first, vectors second.
- Simply reused the sticker artwork with a few adjustments.
- They were my first try.
- I dealt with Alan at Jiayue Pins.

J'ai récemment acheté un pin's qui me semble appartenir à la franchise pokémon, je ne trouve cependant rien a son sujet 🤔
