OMG I also get anxiety having to ask for quotes! I really want to order enamel pins but have been dragging my feet cause contacting manufacture triggers my anxiety so much. I don't know what to do about it.
Thank you for swaring, it makes it feel genuine lol
I'm happy to know someone else feels the same pain! But also sad you feel that pain 😆 Hopefully someday, someone will come out with a website where we can just order enamel pins without the quoting process 😭
Another great video on this process I really appreciate to lose the fear for ordering
Thank you for sharing! Something to note is that the first week of October in China is Lunar Holiday that’s why they took so long so in the future order things mid September is kinda the cut off cause October is shot 😊
Ohhh shitttt you’re totally right. My mind blanked on that. Thanks for letting me know!!!!
@@Tomatoda no worries! I do that all the time when I’m planning! You’re not the only one 😂😂😂
@@eisleyish Hope you don't mind I pinned your comment! in case other people were thinking about order beginning of October xD
@@Tomatoda no problem! Anything to help! 😊
this actually made sense 😭 thxx
Thank you for this!~ I'm revamping my business and got hit with inspiration to make shaker acrylic charms as well as resin ones!~ I was looking for a company that did the acrylic ones~☆ I'm so excited now!!
If you watch my other Vograce video, u can see the quality of the actual shaker charms up close in case that might help you make your decision too ^^;; cuz honestly, their shaker department doesn't seem to be as nice as their regular acrylic charms just yet
Thank you for your video ! I was thinking about sending a charm for a foreign friend as a surprise but had no idea how to make it.. Then 4 days ago I randomly came across your video on vograce charms review haha. Luckily, you just made a guide ! Anyways, thank you so much !!! :)
that is so sweet! xD thank you for watching!!!
Thank you this is very helpful!! ❤️
Omfg thank you for this tutorial 🤩 I needed this thanks 😊
No problem! ☺️
This is so helpful, thank you.
As per usual you're hella informative and hugely talented. 👏🏼❤
Thank you for walking through it so thoroughly! Now I just need to figure out how to do this as someone who only ever really has done traditional art. 😅💔
xD thank you so much! And good luck >_< I've learned that scanning traditional art to the computer is actually pretty complicated! My first and only attempt was pretty bad, so I hope that your attempt goes better!!
I really love your vids! You seem really authentic and I love it! I get anxiety over that as well! lol
thank you 🥰
Thank you for this tutoriel !!
wow I had no idea you could order directly from their site! wish more manus had an option like this, really helps with the anxiety of human interaction ;w; thanks for this video, very helpful!
thank you eternally!! i got rlly intimidated by their website so ty for the tutorial
I'm so glad it helped! :D
So helpful! To see you have these on the iPad! Thank you for this tutorial.
thanks for watching! I'm working on an updated version that's hopefully better than this tutorial xD
@@Tomatoda thanks! Do you think you’ll do standees?
@@spooky_lizbean1050 I actually do want to but last time I looked it seemed like I had to contact them to get it customized? Maybe later this year I’ll try it out
When uploading the artwork on the vograce site, what file size did you have for your zip file or charms?? I keep on getting errors that my file size is too large for the site :/ but awesome tutorial, love how much you explained everything easily!!
Thank you so much! So the largest zip file I have is 4mb! If the error keeps happening, I think you might have to contact them >_
this was so helpful tooot if anyone knows any alternative ways/websites of creating custom acrylics like this pls lmk !
I think ink it labs and zap creatives are other well known websites that make acrylic charms! I believe one is US based and one is UK based? so the prices would be higher but I've heard some good things about them too (in regards to acrylic charms only).
Aaa thanks so much for making this! Just in time for me too :'D
I have a question though, does the file you send have to be in CYMK? The whole conversion from RGB to CMYK thing is stressing me out and I don't have Photoshop to easily convert it if it's needed. If it is necessary do you have any idea how to convert .psd files to CYMK? (I use medibang if that helps ;;) if you don't know thank you for the tutorial anyways!!💗
yeah cuz I guess Vograce's printers only print in cmyk? so like.. u CAN submit it rbg, but when you receive the product, you're gonna get it in CYMK colors and its gonna be a surprise xD I didnt think much of it at first but when I converted my drawings, the colors were much bleh and some glowy parts turned into harsh outlines. So bottom line, I do recommend you converting it yourself so you know the results youre going to get and to make adjustments before submitting. As for how to convert files to CYMK outside of photoshop or procreate... I have no idea T_T sorry. I suggest googling "medibang cymk" or something
This is so helpful, even tho you didn't know all. It helped me more than just pictures because I always thought you yourself have to make the cutlines?? 😭
I have an updated video now… well not recently updated but a better video I guess? But yeah, I love how you don’t have to make your own cut lines cuz I don’t know how to do that lol.
After you confirmed the cut lines, how long did everything take to come?
Thank you for the video! I was wondering if the charm discount (16-49 and etc...) would also count for orders that have the amount but the designs are all different? Such as ordering 16pcs but there are 16 different designs (or will they quote for a different price?) Thank you so much and apologies if I missed the meaning in the video!!
Yes! I think you can as long as they're the same type of acrylics and the same size (like rainbow, holo, 3d etc.). But if they are different type of acrylics or size for each design, the discount will not work. So if you order 16 holo acrylic pieces in 1.5 inches, but they have 16 different artwork, that means every ONE acrylic is a different design right? so no duplicates? As long as you file it correctly, I'm sure it should work... cuz it kind of implies that you can do that on their website? I go over it in 13:49 - 16:47 in case it might be a better explanation. Previously, I've ordered 112 of the same type/size charms that contain 7 different designs and it was ok. But I've never tried 16 charms with 16 different designs before so I cant say 100% for sure >_< hope that somewhat answers your question!
I'm planning on ordering from Vograce and I was wondering if the color thing really matters? I'm using CSP to draw, and that program (along with Procreate) use sRBG, not CMYK like Vograce specifies in their file information. But, I figured the printer would just convert the colors into CMYK, right? But, I'm not sure.
So you can actually make cmyk files with procreate! cuz that's how I did it. I dont know about CSP tho. ^^;; What I did was I made a cmyk canvas and copy and pasted my sRBG drawing into that CMYK canvas... and let me tell you, CMYK colors are disappointing :( . It mutes blues and pinks and other bright colors. Soooo after I pasted it into CMYK I had to edit it to make the dull colors brighter. I mean yeah, you don't HAVE to convert if you don't want to, like they'll still be able to print it, but don't expect it to look the same >_
@@Tomatoda oh alright ! thank you
Hey, tank you for sharing ! I followed your instructions and they accepted the payement but they didn't send me any email.. so I was a little bit worried I guess I should be more patient !
Yeah ^_^;; it might take some time. Usually they will email you within a week, but last time I accidentally ordered during the lunar holiday so it took like 2 weeks+ to get my email hahahaha oops
Hello just a little question, i plan to order from an ipad/tablet and directly uploading the files is a bit hard, does vograce let you email them the files via attachments?
I would LOVE to order from them, really! Unfortunately, they're too expensive for my budget... Since it's all in USD and I'm in Canada... Still, awesome video! The sizing really helped me out with sizing my own art on Procreate!
yeah, it's quite a bit of an initial investment ^^;; thank you for watching!
Wonderful vid, super helpful! Out of curiosity, what do you use the charms with no holes for?
I glue backings onto them to make hair ties, hair clips, badge reels, phone grips, and car vent clips for now! :D
Hi! Do you know if I submit it as an jpeg or png, I include the hole marking in my image? Thank you wonderful video :)
Jpeg is best
Thank you for the really helpful video!! I just have a question and I don't know if it's a stupid one but -- what is the result of specifying "no hole" ? Will the charm really have no hole anywhere...?
I specifically wrote no hole so they wouldn't think that I accidentally forgot to add the "x hole layer". But the first time I ordered, the person still confirmed if I really meant no hole ^^;; I mean it's better to be safe than sorry. But yep! There is absolutely no hole anywhere.
Thank you sooo much you are SO HELPFUL I mean BEST tutorial ever TTvTT
I had two questions (I want to order different designs of shaker charms)
1- Does the zip file technique also work on their shaker charms ? Or should I order the designs separately (even if they share the same characteristics) ?
2- When they say the size is 2"5 : is it only for the total height or for both height and length ?? ( could I get a design that is 2"5 height tall but is 3"5 long for the length ) ?
Thanks for your tips
1) I believe yes? I dont see why it wouldn't work out? but ahhh >_< it's been a while so I cant be 100% sure. sorry! But I'm gonna lean towards yes.
2) when they say 2.5" it means the longest length. so for your case, you'd have to get a charm that's 3.5" long.
@@Tomatoda Ooo thank you so much for your help !! I am so grateful !
Ok I'll make some research but I will still try to send the zip file just in case XD
Have a nice day ~
I don't understand how to upload two designs for one charm. It says to separate the layer but I don't know what that means?
Hi! Thanks for sharing this! I was just wondering if they have an option to send sample charms of your custom design, like a prototype so we can actually see and review them physically before they start the actual production? It will be my first time ordering - I'm just thinking that if I order a lot and it doesn't turn out the way I wanted them to it will be a little disappointing. I'm on a tight budget and wouldn't want to waste anything..
In your own opinion, would you prefer to get sample charms first or just order all at once and wait and hope for the best? 😅
they have an option to buy only one charm from what I saw last time so I dont think they would send samples, but more like u just buy one (which also means u gotta pay for shipping.. and I remember it was like $6 shipping for one charm? 😬 my memory's not 100% accurate tho). I was also on a budget too but I went ahead and bought shit in bulk my first time cuz that would've been cheaper than buying samples first... and I was thinking if it's bad, I'll complain and hopefully they'll just resend me a new batch? (BUT I dont even know if that's actually how they'll handle the situation 😅 so its risky!) I also bought single charms with different effects as my way of sampling their product with my first order. I mean everything came out great for me personally. I reviewed my very first batch two videos before this one if you wanna see how that went. I mention towards the ends how many had flaws out of however many I got and what the flaws kind of were. I think if you are ok with waiting for samples and u can spend a little bit more $ for the samples you should do that. But if you are on a schedule and there's no room for extra spending, just.. yolo and pray for the best 😭
Hello! I just wanted to ask if you knew, if you're ordering multiple designs (with the same size and print technology) within the same order -- can you add PSD files in the zip folder? or can they only be png? and if a file is a png then do you need to draw the hole directly on the image...? thank you so so much 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
???? you're suppose to submit them as psd files
@@Tomatoda so I had thought, it's just that on vograce itself, for multiple designs in one order it shows them as png files so I was asking to make sure.
@@imaniqbal9510 🤔 That's weird they would do that. Hoping it's just a mistake they overlooked and not like a new requirement. cuz back when submitted them, I sent them psd files in a zip folder... so I think you should be good!
Your designs are so cute. Design-wise, did you have to take them into any other programs on the computer after procreate?
Thank you! I did open it on photoshop just to double check the layers. Also if I use a template, I arrange it using photoshop. But in terms of drawing, it was all on procreate!
Do you know if there’s any way to change to CMYK after you’ve already made a canvas in procreate? I really would like to use this drawing I’ve already made.
hope u dont mind I copy and paste my answer 😅 "There’s actually video tutorials from other artists who show u how to do it more legitly, but me as a noob did this: when u hit the + at the top right corner to open a new canvas, you’ll see another + inside a dark rectangle. From there u can edit the canvas size, color profile, etc for your new canvas. Make the canvas CMYK and all that jazz. Then your new CMYK blank canvas will appear. Copy your art and paste it into the blank cmyk canvas. You’ll notice the colors changing 😭 if it’s ok then that’s that. if u are not happy with the color changes, u can copy and paste layer by layer and try to edit the color to ur liking. Then combine them all together. Although I think the new procreate update has a saturation changer built in now. Maybe tinker with that. But yeah the color change from rbg to cmyk is no fun :("
@@Tomatoda I ended up figuring it out, thank you so much!!💕
This is super late but I have a question regarding the multi-ordering!
What if I have a bunch of designs (customs people commission me for) and I only want ONE of EACH design? Would that still classify as ordering 15 of them and hence get the discount? Or do I still need to order a minimum of 3 per design?
I haven’t ordered from vograce in like a year or something so I don’t know if anything has changed since, but when this video was made, you can order one of each design. The total has to add up to 15 for the discount. So u can order 15 individual designs.
I have a 2022 tutorial that might make more sense? I think. It’s on the 12:53 mark

Thank you so much for the information!@@Tomatoda
So you don’t have to use a template?
And I can use a picture, in the picture I will only have a head (it’s a K-pop keychain) and that works to?
For the acrylic charms, you don’t need a template (unless it says so in the description but that is rare). I’ve never had a picture printed on a charm but…. I think it should work fine?
How long did it take for them to arrive after the email on the 16th about the cut lines? 😊
Hmmmm 🤔 that I don’t exactly remember, but I think it took about a month to arrive?
@@Tomatoda Awesome, thanks so much!
what do you do about CMYK colours? have you had an issue with that?
cmyk colors are the correct colors for printing with Vograce :D
did you draw the cutline for them before sending the artwork or did they make it for you?
They made it for me :)
@@Tomatoda thank you!
do you have any experience with the standard shipping? how long does it take?
no, sorry, I cant seem to find the option for standard shipping :(
This might be a dumb question but if you'd just like to try the website, is it possible to just order one charm?
I believe so! I remember seeing somewhere they listed the price of shipping for one charm and stuff.
I accidentally drew out the cutline for my charm. How do I tell them to remove it? T^T
Email them! But usually they will email you a proof with their cut line before production (they always should, but I’ve heard one person said they didn’t so whoever at vograce was in charge of that project fucked that up). And if you see double cut lines (yours and theirs) tell them the situation and they will most likely ask you to re-submit the file!
@@Tomatoda thank you so much! Hopefully I'll get a response soon ^^
Did you get the order?
hello! One question, do you have to order it on the pc? I use procreate and I’m really confused on the files and layers haha
If u watch the file and sizing section (there’s a time stamp in the description box) I go over the layers and export files on procreate through my iPad. So u don’t really need to order on the PC, but I just find it easier to look at 😅. Don’t forget to make your background layer invisible too!
Whoops my bad. The section is called layering and sizing*
@@Tomatoda ah ok! thank youuuu i love your art btw ^^
@@liay8658 thank you so much! ☺️
@@Tomatoda heyy again,sorry if i can keep asking questions but how do you change the colour to CMYK? (Is that how u spell it idk i forgot lmao)
I know this is an american website, but will they accept orders from the UK?
They’re actually Chinese! So the probably would ship to the UK. I think?
Just to make this clear:
I have 3 Designs, and the minimum amount of an order is 3 charms. If I would only want one charm with one design each, this wouldn't work out because I need to make an order for each design separately, right?
I think it should work unless they recently changed their policy or something. But their website never stated (at the time I made this video) you had to order 3 minimum charms for each design. So you can order 3 charms total and give them 3 designs and you’ll end up with one - one - one - different charms.
In the past I’ve ordered something on their website where the minimum was 6. And I ordered only 6 but gave them 2 different designs so I ended up with 3-3 different products.
Hope that makes sense. I know numbers r being flown around everywhere 😭
@@Tomatoda Ohh! Good to know, I'm going to try it out! :D
@@annieiley hope it works out!!!!!! 😊
Oh! Is this how you made jawffrey?
Yes! And they're gonna send me the missing jawffrey keychain. I'll mail it to u guys when I get it :D
how did these turn out? I‘m really curious!(:
they turned out great! just as I imagined 😁I have a short video of some of them here on my instagram: instagram.com/p/CIOnta4ATMp/?
