The Pen Tool: Design A Pin

I LOVE your pin design Heather! The colors are super adorable as well! ♥

This is a really great pin. Totally worthy of being made! If you were to make it, I think you'd need to bring the apple up so the stem connects to the foot without any space. I believe it can be tricky to have the hole punched out between the body and the trunk. BUT, it's awesome and you should definitely look at getting it made. Great work!

Thank you so much for the feedback Jon and your advice. I wasn't sure how much space I could have. I will definitely amend it as would love to have it printed, I'm sure it's a lovely feeling to be able to hold your artwork as a pin in your hand!

Thank you Sebastian that's very kind! It was inspired by my Grandma as her favourite animal was an elephant :-)

Final Pin!
I made a few changes from my sketch reducing some of the detail to make it look better as a pin. I hope you like it!
