Creative ways to store a TON of pins at home?

[Goldilocks07]

Hi all, I have at least 1,000 pins, probably more- from collecting and trading over the years. At the current time, I have 23 x 17 basic cork boards I've used, my daughter and I organize them that way. They are not attractive at all, and heavy/bulky. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions on ways to showcase their pins (not in books)?

I've seen large banners of different material that seem like a possible option.

If you like to group them by theme, maybe several smaller framed boards.

I've seen people spruce up their cork boards by wrapping them in a thin fabric (or just cover the cork part in the case of the framed ones) ! It'd still be bulky/heavy but you'd get more customizations options to match your space better ! : )

DW is a big time collector too, well over 1K pins too. Her craft room has a bunch of embroidery hoops with colorful cloth inserts - probably a dozen of them hung on the wall. Easy to switch up every now and then to highlight her favorite collections.

Most of my 1000+ pins are in big three ring zipper binders and a few in picture frames. I don't look at them often and I hope someday to move more of them to picture frames.

I have collected a few ideas on one of my Pinterest boards here: https://www.pinterest.com/rewardgal/pin-display-ideas/

Someone on another thread said they put pins in their "pinfolio." I looked that up and it led to a web site named Go Pin Pro that has some storage solutions - some of which can be hung on wall like 2 ft x 2 ft felt boards.
