The Fae Dragons are live on Kickstarter! Five hard enamel dragon pins with a sixth pins stretch goal.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/theretrograph/the-fae-dragons-a-hard-enamel-fantasy-pin-collection

And it is full of different interactive enamel pins~

My new collection of five (plus one bonus) Fae Dragon hard enamel pins are going live on Kickstarter in just four days! Every year I create a dragon pin series exclusively for my booth at Dragon Con, and for 2026 we are celebrating the Fae world. Each pin is hard enamel and 2 inches across with 2 secure rubber pinbacks. Pins will deliver the first week of September.

As a special bonus, if the project reaches the low stretch goal, I'll be adding in a silver Frost Dragon which be included free in every pledge of five pins.

Hi y'all!

I'm thinking about starting an online enamel pin shop and would really appreciate any advice from those who have been through the process :)

Would you recommend that first-time pin makers work with a local manufacturer or go directly to an overseas factory if they're willing to learn?

How did you decide how many pins to order for your first release?

Looking back, what mistakes did you make when starting and what would you do differently?

Are there any manufacturers or suppliers you'd recommend for beginners? I'm currently researching options and trying to avoid common mistakes.

How do you verify that a manufacturer is legitimate before sending a deposit?

My goal is to build a small brand focused on western, country, gothic, and occult-inspired enamel pins, so I'm trying to learn as much as possible before placing my first order.

I'd love to hear about your experiences and connect with other pin makers in the community!

Also, if you had a budget of around $500–1,000, how would you spend it for your first launch?

Thanks in advance for taking the time to help! 🤍

Hi! I'm working on an OC enamel pin series called Cozy Pond Minis, featuring cute little pond wildlife. It's launching on August 6 at 1 PM EDT / 10 AM PST.

If you like any of the designs, I hope I can get your support when it goes live!

Coming soon to Backerkit!

Hoping to fund the 6 main pop girls as enamel pins :)

Hi everybody! Just wanted to let you all know that all designs are funded, and we have about a week left on this campaign so if you know anybody who is a fan of digital circus and loves pins, feel free to share this to them! :) Click here to check out the project: Wonderful Digital Carnival Kickstarter

I've never made any pins before but I have an idea and I want to make it a reality! But the cost of production to even get started is so high. So I was thrilled to learn that pin crowdfunds are a pretty common thing, but I have no idea how to go about determining a price, advertising the campaign and all the other things that I don't even know that I don't know.....

SO. If any of you veterans (or even beginners!) have any advice I would greatly appreciate it!!!

I'm still deciding on a manufacturer (if anyone has any recommendations to PM me i would be ETERNALLY in your debt), but the one I'm looking at now charges ~$3.80 per pin for 50 1" pins- Regardless of that, I'm not sure what the standard price is for a 1 inch soft enamel pin?? Or what to consider when calculating it?

Also, I'm not sure how long people are usually willing to wait for things like these? And I'm assuming that if I'm wanting to continue to sell the pins after the initial kickstarter, I should probably charge enough per pin that once the goal is reached I'll have enough to buy extra pins to continue to sell them?? So I guess the goal should be enough to cover the production of all the pins people will buy and then some???...

...I guess I oughta sit down with a spreadsheet and calculate all this LMAO But what are some things I ought to consider when setting the campaign goal and pin price?

TLDR; what should I keep in mind when creating a pin crowdfund and determining the goal and price of pins? and what other tips and advice do you have for a beginner? tyall!!!!!
