I get asked a lot about how do I design my enamel pins, how to do the mock-ups and where I get my ideas from. I'll put together just some quick tips and tricks that hopefully you find helpful!
Designing the Pin:

I use a Wacom tablet and a keyboard and mouse. Just remember to keep your designs crisp, and using solid colours works best.
Ideas:

Find something you're passionate about or that makes you happy and go for it!
If you have any questions, let me know :)
