Every creator of enamel pins should think about also making needle minders.
It's the same thing, but with magnets. One magnet on the backside, another loose one to fix it on fabric.
Not only as needle minders, but as pins for people who don't want to punch holes in a delicate clothing item.
If you don't know, a needle minder is a little magnet that you keep on your hoop or frame while embroidering to put your needle onto while you're not actively stitching. The magnet is the whole point. That it's also decorative is just a bonus.
But it's also very collectable!
And there aren't that many shops that sell them compared to enamel pins.
Okay! Here's the official post with the prototypes for rupee needle minders (or fridge magnets, if that's what you want!) The post that needs lots of likes, comments, and mainly reblogs (to spread the word more) before I decide to make this happen. And Two votes: what size you think would be best, and what color you would like to see, so that may be the top two or three or the ones I do first.
I am going to give this post 7 days. 2 weeks at maximum. To get as many notes, likes, and reblogs. Preferably, comments but mostly reblogs, to spread the word far and wide...with a yes, or your two votes. Because anybody can just like a post but that doesn't mean they want it. I need to hear it from the mouths of my followers. I need to hear your want, and your need. I need to hear your votes! I would LIKE to hear over 150 voices. Not 150, but more than 150. So that I know that buying metallics will be worth it, and this venture will be worth it.
I will also be checking the other post that I made to see if that gains more traction as well. Again, 7 days, no more than 2 weeks. For both posts to skyrocket.
And I will only reblog it myself 4 to 6 times. Once in the late Colorado morning, and once in the 2:00 a.m. ish hours, so that those around the world, and night owls, will have a chance to see this post. Other than that, it's all up to you guys.
And, if enough people want these needle minders, then I can order the metallic colors, because there will be enough want and need for these to make my purchases worth it...
But if only a few people want them, then I'll just open up pre-orders and I'll print some white ones, and sand and spray/brush paint them. Which means that they won't look nearly as good as if they were printed on gorgeous metallic, so if you want some really nice looking needle minders, and not some white ones painted metallic, then it's up to you folks to make sure this gets spread around like wildfire. Otherwise, I'll gladly sell some needle minders, but they're just going to be boring white ones that are painted and glaze coated.
