pin pins pins! (and badges)
I started gluing the pins and pin backs to the little pieces of plastic. At first I used copydex glue, I'd gone to a hardware store and asked the man in there what kind of glue would be best for gluing metal to plastic and he suggested that, however after a day of wearing my little tester pin, it broke! and the glue peeled away like thick pva, so I decided to go with the good old trusty super glue and they seem to be perfectly stuck in place.
I also made a badge order this week, I designed some little circle illustrations and emailed them to 'made by lucy' who made my badges and delivered them to me within a couple days!! super super super easy process, I really want to make more orders from her in the future.
and stickers! I did so much this week it seems, I created the photoshop document for my stickers a couple weeks ago but I've been waiting for a friend to finish her sticker designs so that we could go and use the sticker machine together as it's easier and cheaper to do it in groups, I took our images to the printing room at the knighstone campus and we got the stickers printed, super quick simple and easy. Then all I had to do was cut them out!
So everything has been made! now I just need to package everything, I've bought some ziplock bags to put the badges and stickers in, and I want to place the pins on pieces of card and fasten the pin in place with the pin back. I decided to hand make the packaging and it turned out to be an incredibly painful and tedious process but I got it all done in one day (a WHOLE day of packaging) and they look super cute!
