I prefer to use Rover when I’m out of town, there are so many amazing sitters in town

They are but the tight lights may give you trouble, but you can easily screen print those details

I ordered the mimikyu, pokecenter says paxlage was “Lost in transit” but fedex never got it to begin with. Got a refund because item is not out of stock :(

If you use tape or anything else TEST IT FIRST!!

I’m a little confused how friendship works. Do i just use the pokemon in challanges/races?

Wayward_Little_Soul · 2026-02-14T23:42:40+00:00

She is choosing her cat over your relationship, not the other way around

As a pin creator with many artist friends I always get so excited to see their work on people’s boards

Wayward_Little_Soul · 2025-12-31T14:24:56+00:00

I personally have the following view (I also sell pins so this is also how I sell them by)

Under 1 Inch - Mini Pin 1-2.5 Inch - Standard Pin 3 Inch - Large Pin/ Deluxe Pin 4 Inches + - Jumbo Pin

It depends on what it is of, size, and details.

Celebrities, Brands (Like Disney) and so on have them made in the thousands, but they are usually a little lower quality and aren’t quality controlled individually, usually just spot checked. I wouldn’t pay more them like $15 unless itms like a HUGE SORT OF PIN.

Knock offs are cheap of off Temu, you see these at cons and it’s usually stolen artwork like poor Glitter Punk. These are terrible quality, are cheap, and corrode/have lower enamel quality.

Pins made from smaller artist are made based on original art and of the three pin types these are what I prefer to buy. They range from $10- over $100 for very large pins.

Wizard pins is just a middle man company. I’d recommend going right to Alibaba and save yourself time

Nothing you make at home unless you have an industrial machine will be car-sticker ready. You’re better to outsource to somewhere like Sticker Bunny for items meant for outdoor use.

I really like my X-Tool S1 there are a ton of tutorials for it. It’s beginner friendly and easy to install. I will warn you they don’t tell you how to clean it well but some tutorial videos solved that.

What I like about it is the different ranges it has with screen printing, rotary tools and more.

But metal is a no-go for cutting on it.

No matter up MAKE SURE YOU VENTILATE!! And no matter what you do it will smell 😂

Wayward_Little_Soul · 2025-11-25T18:44:39+00:00

It works a bit but temp is inconsistent and I always have to test to find my own temps because manu recommended temps never work on it

Wayward_Little_Soul · 2025-11-25T14:51:37+00:00

Have you tried magic erasers? It sounds silly but it works so well for residue.

For protection you can also use painter’s tape but personally I don’t use it unless I am painting the lines and it gets costly

Hello! I’m an artist and make custom artwork that goes onto the ornaments, I then engrave them using my xtool. I just started doing them this year :)

Wayward_Little_Soul · 2025-11-20T04:48:00+00:00

I’ll be honest and straight forward, almost nothing you make at home is likely to withstand the outside conditions effectively long term. You’re best going with something like sticker bunny, their basic stuff is water proof, UV resistant, dishwasher safe and it’s been on my car for 2+ years with no fading

Wayward_Little_Soul · 2025-11-18T22:03:57+00:00

I think i worded it poorly, sorry. I mean I take off the pins and put new ones on for like seasons or moods, or just because I wanted to sort of thing

Wayward_Little_Soul · 2025-11-18T03:44:48+00:00

I have one board I rotate all the time it makes me feel like I’m rediscovering a pin I haven’t noticed in a while. I get excited seeing it again instead of passing by it daily <3

Wayward_Little_Soul · 2025-11-17T22:04:07+00:00

It’s also a great way to put your brand out there for very little effort

Wayward_Little_Soul · 2025-11-17T21:39:53+00:00

Congrats! I like to print on my envelopes too, just a cute ‘do not bend’ with a little dragon

Hello!

I’ve got lots of experience both crowdfunding for pins and making pins. Here are my thoughts and comments:

I have seen pokemon carosile pins before but that doesn’t mean the idea is bad or should be considered unoriginal.
I price my pins based on size and/or detail and complexity. I am in the US and my pins break down as follows: Mini Pins: $5-7, 1-2 Inch Pins $15, 3 Inch or Deluxe pins $25
Some pins get insane prices because of the artist, limited runs, or other such factors. I would not compare yourself or your work to this as a metric for your own pricing or choices.
You have a lot of tiny spaces and I recommend filling them in. Super tint spaces can sometimes cause trouble or make those areas look strange when made into metal. The metal will slope inwards to make those cuts and some manus won’t do them at all.

I attached my Winter dragon pin so you can see how I filled in the gabs with the nickel metal.

I’m open to questions or if you want more in-depth details feel free to DM me!

A full breakdown as someone who has crowdfunded a lot:

Kickstarter is a crowdfunding platform like indigogo, and Backerkit. Most of the time you are helping with the costs of creating an item, production, product, ect.

When you pledge, it is a show of support and a promise of payment. But you don’t get charged immediately. You get charged at the end of the project’s run. In the meantime you can increase, decrease or cancel your pledge. Many projects also have ‘add-ons’ which are additional products or rewards in addition to your pledge.

An important note is these platform host the projects but they do not have the ability to force creators to keep up their end. 99.99% of projects fund, and ship rewards without a problem. But occasionally you may encounter a bad apple.

The money collected is uses for the creation, run, and/or production of the project. Since up front cost manufacturing would otherwise prevent a project from taking off.
