If you’ve ever thought about diving into the world of Express Me Pins, this guide will help you get started!

Find Your Style

Before you begin collecting, think about what excites you. Do you love:
✅ Humorous & sarcastic pins that make people chuckle?
✅ Pop culture references that showcase your favorite movies or shows?
✅ Aesthetic designs that match your personal style?
✅ Limited edition or rare pins for collector value?

At Jelly Metal, we have a wide range of designs that cater to every kind of collector—whether you love quirky, edgy, or downright hilarious pins.

Start Small & Build Your Collection

You don’t need to buy dozens of pins at once. Start with a few designs that speak to you, then gradually expand as you discover new ones. A great way to find pins is by:
✔ Checking out local artists and independent brands (like us!)
✔ Looking for limited edition or themed sets
✔ Trading pins with fellow collectors

Display Your Pins Creatively

Once you start collecting, you’ll want to show them off! Here are some fun display ideas:
🎒 On your backpack or tote bag – A simple way to take your collection everywhere.
🧥 On a jacket or denim vest – Add a pop of personality to your outfit.
🖼 On a pin board or fabric banner – Keep them organized at home.
💼 On a work lanyard or bag – Show off your style at the office.

Take Care of Your Pins

To keep your pins looking sharp:
✨ Store them in a pin case or display board to avoid scratches.
✨ Secure them with locking pin backs to prevent them from falling off.
✨ Clean them with a soft cloth to keep the enamel shiny.

Connect with Other Collectors
