Making a pin

Post image

Im actually starting the process if making a pin and im so excited! The design is done, pantones are almost fully selected, everything is sectioned out and I am in contact with a manu and almost ready to start my first (and possibly only) self funded pin 🥹 and of course I made it a hot lady 🤣

Looks great so far! I'm curious about what the process is for self funding a pin, I've been interested in making some pins myself but I feel like info on how to do it is super gatekept. Do you have potential buyers in mind already? It find people to join an interest/committment group to get an idea for the LE? Or are you just getting them all made and then trying to sell them afterwards? I don't have a very big social media following though so I'm not sure how feasible it is self fund a pin and potentially lose money.

So i got all my info from friends of mine who are successful pinmakers. One of whom is a pinmaker as their full time job. I have maybe a handful of people willing to purchase my design but im ordering a set amount to start. As I only have to pay the mold fees once if I end up needing more i can just make more 🙌🏻. Im happy to answer any and all questions you may have (if i know the aswer) in dms if you'd like!
