Pin assembly tutorial~ (Patreon)

For anyone who's wondering, backing cards are literally just business cards; you can buy them in various sizes and thicknesses to back your pins with just for a bit of display oomph. The ones here are 18pt thickness, which is thick enough to look good but also thin enough to stab pretty easily. You could probably do thicker or thinner or more or less bells-and-whistles depending on if you think people will throw them away or not but, this was for a strongly-branded Kickstarter, so I wanted them to look nice.
Making pins is fun and relatively easy... So far the most annoying part has been removing all these little backing nubs by hand, haha.
I'll be picking the winner of the pin contest later tonight too, so one of you will get one of those thrips :]
