Hi, I like to make merch of my own OCs so I'm extending the offer to make merch of your own OCs for you! I currently offerĀ buttons, sequin/glitter buttons, and stickers.
Examples of my work and reviews are available on my Etsy store! I also have a FAQ and other good things over on there. I advise reading up on my shop policies! All written there applies to these orders.

Please be aware this service is for putting your pre-existing images on buttons/stickers, I won't be drawing anything for you!! These aren't art commissions.

I have a form you can fill out to make things easier to order! My preferred method of contact for file sharing and processing things with you is Discord. Please DM me for my handle! Otherwise email and toyhouse messaging works just fine too. Contact info is available on my website.

Here's my equipment!

General info for both:

  • I can use any artworks you provide! I do not provide art (draw for you)-- These aren't art commissions! I can only use images you give me.Ā Transparent is highly preferred for stickers. Transparent artwork for buttons will be given a solid/patterned background, you can let me choose or provide a solid version. Non-transparent art for stickers will be cut in shape with the canvas (square). I will be doing all the template work, but you can let me know where you want things generally placed (IE zooming in on a face).
  • I don't have a CYMK printer, which shouldn't be much of an issue, but very very neon colors like cyan will come out more like an electric blue.Ā See this listing as an example.Ā If you're unsatisfied with the printing's colors, let me know! I'll do my best to make it work for you. RGB color and 300 DPI files are preferred, but if you don't know how those work, no worries! It shouldn't have a majorly different outcome.
  • Payment is with PayPal invoices (goods & services) or custom Etsy listings made for you. Feel free to ask for either. Standard PayPal and Etsy TOS applies. Etsy accepts PayPal, credit/debit cards, etc.
  • When paying with custom Etsy listings, your order can be combined with anything else from my store without additional shipping costs! Pre-orders are exempt unless you're ok with waiting.
  • Prices are in USD, I ship from California, USA.
  • Since these are custom, I cannot accept returns/exchanges! In the case of your item being returned to sender, I'll need the full postage paid again. I'm also not responsible for customs costs. If your items come in damaged from transit I'm more than happy to send a replacement!
  • I'll be shipping these out every few days once they're made! Please be aware I'm chronically ill and disabled so there might be a production delay of 1-3 days due to hospital visits or the like. I usually get these done within 30 minutes to 2 hours after being paid. I can do same day turnover!
  • If you're unhappy with any of the finished products at any point or if they're defective, I'll replace them for you and fix them. I aim to give out quality products & accommodate. I discard any of the defective/unwanted products I make once I make a corrected one.
  • Orders 10 USD and over shipped in bubble mailers come with free candy šŸ‘€ button orders will also get free button(s) of my Boys

Process:

  • Please fill out my form here.
  • Provide the art files and let me know what you'd like.
  • I'll make a custom Etsy listing for you to buy or send a PayPal invoice.
  • Once paid, I'll make them for you and show pictures, and if you're ok with how it looks I'll send it out ASAP!
  • If you'd like to leave a review in the comments it's much appreciated!

Stickers:

  • Printed on glossy water-resistant sticker paper. Will withstand the elements a lot, but not suitable for underwater use where they can get soaked! These have withstood all my rip tests without a tear.
  • Can be sized from super small to 5x6 inches large. Average large sized stickers are 3x3 inches and are my standard size/rate. I cut these with a Cricut machine now, but some of my picture examples are hand-cut. They cannot be borderless.
  • The cheapest to ship internationally and domestically!
For more examples of stickers, here's a direct link to my shop's sticker section.Ā Note the shine in the videos!

Price:Ā Starting at 4 USD per sticker for the size I have in these images! Smaller will be cheaper and larger will cost more. Please ask about bulk order pricing!
Pricing is generally 2 USD per inch. (2x2 inches is 4 USD, 4x4 inches is 8 USD, etc.)

Stickers have a minimum of 2 stickers per order.Ā This is to prevent paper waste!

Shipping costs: I offer mailing these in a 5x6 greeting card for reduced costs! There's no tracking outside the USA for this option-- and I can ONLY add tracking if paid via Etsy. However, I have never lost an envelope in the postal system this way with hundreds of orders. I can only offer USA envelope tracking via custom Etsy listings because USPS First-Class Mail Single-Piece Letter tracking is Etsy exclusive.
Please check tracking info via Etsy, USPS tracking site will not work. LETTER TRACKING IS LIMITED, orders will be scanned less, but they will make it to you!

  • 0.75 USD Domestic shipping (USA) WITHOUT TRACKING (PayPal payment)
  • 0.75 USD Domestic shipping (USA) WITH TRACKING (Etsy payment)
  • 1.25 USD international shipping WITHOUT TRACKING
Normal tracked bubble mailer shipping:
  • 3.95Ā USD Domestic shipping (USA)
  • 9.00 USDĀ Canada shipping
  • 10.95 USD International shipping
  • 12.00 USD Australia/New Zealand shipping
  • Orders including buttons and stickers together will be shipped this way.
Price is flat-rate per order. I ship USPS First-Class in a bubble mailer for the second option. I unfortunately cannot ship to Germany due to VerpackG laws.

International shipping includes tracking to these countries for free:
Australia, Belgium, Canada, Croatia, Cyprus, Denmark, Estonia, France, Gibraltar, Hong Kong, Iceland, Indonesia, Israel, Japan, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Netherlands, New Zealand, Poland, Portugal, Singapore, Thailand, United Kingdom, Ireland.
Anywhere else will require a shipping upgrade to Priority Mail International for tracking.

Buttons:

  • Size 1.5 inches. Standard small size! Has a normal pinback closure. I make these with my own professional grade button pressing machine.
  • I cannot make these smaller or larger, please refer to only my small buttons. I'm considering also buying a larger button press in the future.
  • Best for zooming in on faces. If you have a couple, they might have to be zoomed out, but it works best when they have their faces next to each-other (example here). I can also make a matching set of 2 to avoid squeezing them in!
  • Since these use artwork in a circle, be aware that squares will have corners cut out! A tiny bit of the button artwork will wrap around the sides, so please don't make detail go right up to the very edge unless you're ok with it potentially cutting off.
  • If your art is super detailed, be aware the finest details won't be as crisp due to the small size.
  • I can also add sequins and glitter, see below for details!
For more examples of buttons, here's aĀ direct link to my shop's button section.

Sequin buttons:

These are all hand sequined. I glue them on individually! They're securely under the button's mylar (plastic) shell between the artwork, so they'll never fall off. I have a variety of sequins to choose from!
Here's an Etsy listing with a video of them shining.

#15 Translucent Hearts work best on plainer backgrounds. They're iridescent and shine green/blue/pink.

Hearts come in a small and large size as seen in pictures, I'll decorate with both sizes.

  • Sequins can be mixed and matched. If you want precise placement let me know, otherwise I'll be doing it generally on more empty parts of the artwork to fill in (see examples).
  • The blend sequins have different colors, so if you have a certain shade in mind more than the others let me know, otherwise I'll use all shades.
  • They will cover the artwork, so if you want precise placement keep that in mind!
  • Sequins are numbered for ease of ordering!
Prices (as an add-on per button):Ā 
  • +1 USD to add 1-4 sequins per button
  • +1.50 USD to add 5+ sequins per button
  • Please ask about prices for more complex, button-covering patterns!

Glitter buttons:

These are all hand-glittered. The glitter is securely under the button's mylar (plastic) shell between the artwork, so it'll never fall off. I have a variety of glitter to choose from!
Holo dots shine silver and rainbow, and the pink/blue holo are translucent and shine their respective color.

  • Glitter cannot be glued down, so the placement won't be as precise as the sequins.
  • Works best on solid backgrounds! It'll partially cover the artwork.
Prices (as an add-on per button):Ā 
  • +1 USD per button
