I've just noticed this thread and after looking through all of these posts, I feel the need to try this out myself! They are awesome!! So please just submit them!!
loved seeing so much inspiration in this thread - i played around and came out with this (literal) representation of me to add to the exchange (i am not a designer LOL)
I never noticed the limit of 5 pins. Oops! I submitted 16. I hope these lemonade charms can be included. They're awesome!!! My favorite is the lemon slice.
Started these pretty late in the game, lol, but they are so SO fun!! Thanks for the builder @mommyish!! These are mine. The reindeer and penguin were photos of the kids cups that Melody asked me if I could turn into pins and I LOVE them!! I also wanted to try a more complex scene (from Vecteezy) and it took a lot longer, but I think it looks really effective! And these are a few that Melody designed and I turned into enamel pins, even a see-through one! She loves them! But I warn you, kids drawings are difficult, lol!! Especially when they are looking over your shoulder giving tips about "how it actually should be"
Oh wow - love the ones you did and Melody sounds just like a designer-to-be "how it should actually be" LOL
blech. Stupid short month February - I've been having some computer issues and by the time I got it working again the uploads were closed. Maybe there is some other way I can share the lemonade charms.

It's basically inkjet shrink plastic that I printed on, cut out and then heat up so it shrunk and it makes it look like a real enamel pin! Thanks so much for this Leah! I have been having a ton of fun
That's a really fun idea. I've got some shrink plastic around here somewhere... Depending on size of the shrunk printout, some carefully applied silver puffy fabric paint over the rim edges would give it some real dimension.
