Welcome to the Beetle Bakery! Here's How It Works:
Backerkit campaigns are a buy now, pay later pre-order system. You can pledge for the items you want, add or remove things as the campaign continues, and pay at the end when the project is fully funded! If the campaign doesn't reach its funding goal, your card won't be charged, so there's no risk!
The initial funding goal will allow for the production of the first few items, with subsequent goals allowing for more and more items to be made! If the item you want is part of a stretch goal, you can pledge now and help us reach that goal. If the item still hasn't been funded by the end of the campaign, many creators will include them as bonus goals during the survey portion of the campaign.
At the end of the campaign, you'll receive a survey where you can choose the specific items you want to order, as well as add on any items that got funded later in the campaign! This is also where you will be charged for shipping.
Early Bird: Back this project in the first 48 hours and get a FREE Butterfly Cookie sticker! Stickers are 2.5-3" tall/wide and made of waterproof vinyl. Missed this window? You can add this sticker to your pledge through the add-on section
Returning Backers: If you've backed any of my previous projects, you'll qualify for a FREE Beetle Cookie sticker as a special thank you for your continued support. I couldn't do this without you! These stickers will be 2.5-3" tall and waterproof.
Banner Supporters: Pledge to 3 or more projects in the Fur & Food and get a FREE Red Velvet Cookie Beetle! We've all decided on a cookie theme for our freebie stickers, so the more projects you back the more cookies you collect! Freebie stickers will be sent with your pledge for each project- but you need to back at least 3 projects to qualify.
Freebie incentives are only available with pledges for a physical item. If you backed the campaign for the support tier only and didn't add any additional items to your pledge, you are not eligible for freebies.
The initial funding goal of just $800 will unlock two pins, the Beetle Bread pin and the Inch Worm Pretzel Pin! These pins will both be 2" wide and made using dyed metal, soft enamel, and a screen print for the fine details. This is a new style of pins for me, but I can't wait to try these designs!
All pins in this campaign will have 2 pin posts and rubber clutches. I will also be including a logo stamp on the back of each pin so you never forget where they came from! Each pin will come packaged with an individual backer card, or if you order three or more, I will put them all on one larger card designed like a pastry box~
Pledge for one or more pins now, and choose which design(s) you want from the unlocked designs in the Survey, which will be released about 2 weeks after the campaign has concluded.
Once we clear the initial goal of just $800, we'll start baking some additional stretch goals! With each new goal reached, all new items will be funded. The more money raised, the more fresh baked pins we can make!

Shipping prices can fluctuate, but for the most part they should look like this: US (Domestic): $5-20 USD Canada: $15-30 USD Europe: $20-35 USD Australia: $25-40 USD
January 20th: Campaign launches! February 12th: Campaign ends! February 12th through 29th: Cards are charged March 1st: Surveys go out- here is where you place your order!
