Remember these steps for when your survey arrives (don't worry, I will remind you!) 🌿 Make sure to grab a body and a mask for optimal fun! The bodies will be enamel pins with 2 posts and all masks will be enamel magnets which will attach to the body pins!
STEP 1: Select a body colour:
5 colours to choose from!
STEP 2: Select a body shape (each body pin comes with a mini heart pin!):
3 body shapes to choose from!
STEP 3: Select one (or more!) of the funded magnetic masks:
Many mask combinations!
Here is a small sample of the funded goodies from the original Build-A-Forest Friend Campaign! 🌿
☆ Body Pins: Hard Enamel, Gold Finish, Two Posts, Green Rubber Clutches, Screen Print, Pinsomnia Designs Back Stamp
☆ Masks: Hard Enamel, Gold Finish, Magnet on Back, Screen Print (on some), Pinsomnia Designs Back Stamp
PLEASE NOTE: These pin sets are recommended to be display only - magnets will not be strong enough to withstand being worn on a bag or jacket. Ensure care is taken when attaching masks to the bodies - the bodies have screenprinted details that can be damaged if the magnet is slid with force.
NEW STRETCH GOAL:
mini pins | screen print faces | relative sizing to each other | sizing to be </= 15 mm (so smol!) 🌿🍁
I have paired up with the awesome Sucker MC 🐮 We thought that Forest Friends and Cozy Highland Cows would be the CUTEST pairing! Make sure to go check out their campaign Highland Moo Moo: Enamel Pins, Stickers and an ITA Bag to cash in on these adorable freebies!
When both campaigns are funded, backers of BOTH campaigns will receive these pins for free!
Welcome to Build-A-Forest Friend | Part 2 🌿 In 2023 we were able to fully fund the original campaign which had so many mask options and body combinations... but I just thought of some MORE! I hope you will enjoy building your own Forest Friend! ✨
A little about me - this is my 18th crowdfunding project! Every single one has been such a blast to launch and be a part of 🌿 Quick facts: I love Halloween, I'm a huge LOZ fan, I love DnD and I cosplay in my free time ✨
💖 WELCOME TO PINTOPIA — a celebration of creativity and collaboration from a diverse group of over 175 creators collectively launching their pin and/or plushie project on BackerKit from January 23rd - February 13.
Be on the lookout for projects that have paired up to be Cross-Collab partners — this means that if you back BOTH projects in the pair (for a physical reward), you will get a limited FREE pin from EACH creator. The more pairs you support, the more FREE pins you earn ✨
And for all you pin-hoarders out there, we want to reward your achievements with a limited Gold Pintopia 2025 pin once you support 6 or more Cross-Collab pairs (this reward will be surveyed and shipped by the BackerKit team).
⚔️ 2 FREE Cross Collaborative Pins for every cross-collab pair you back 🏆 1 FREE Limited Gold Pintopia 2025 Pin if you back 5 cross-collab pairs (10 projects) or more
Shipping costs will be charged to you AFTER the campaign and SEPARATELY through your BackerKit survey. The pricing below is merely an estimate for shipping to different areas.
The below flat rates apply only to your pledge level, and are subject to changes depending upon shipping rates when the campaign ends. If there is a shipping increase it will only be between $1-$2.
🇨🇦 Canada 1-5 pins: $10 🇺🇸 USA 1-5 pins: $10 🇦🇺 Australia 1-5: $15
Unfortunately I am only able to extend this campaign to limited countries due to various (and ever-changing) regulations - if you are interested in this campaign and are not in any of the countries listed above, please feel free to reach out!
Timeline:
Please note that this timeline is an estimate, based on the numerous crowdfunding I have completed in the past. Backers will be notified of any large delays. Updates will be posted (when there is updates - sometimes production takes a long time!)

Things to Consider When Pledging:
