Displaying pins?

[meryll83]

Im thinking of displaying my pins on the wall, perhaps in a frame - does anyone have any ideas for this?

I had a quick look on eBay but didn't see a huge amount of options, and what I did see was pricey...

A few ideas:
1. Find a shadow box at Michaels or a craft store, and place them in there on your lanyard.
2. Use batting and a nice fabric, Push that into the frame then stick the pins into that. If you Don't put the glass on you could stick the pins directly into the batting, and easily switch them around, too.

I googled how to display medals and it showed a few tutorials that might be helpful.

Thanks for the ideas - we have a place called Hobbycraft here in the UK, might have a look in there.

Awesome! Hopefully you will find something that fits your vision.

I just keep our pins on our trading lanyard and have it hanging from a doorknob.. Im sure there is a better looking option, lol.

post the final product, if you think about it!

We use a nice framed cork board that we got from Container Store.

I buy 16 X 20 painting canvases and cover those with material - stapling it in the back. I look for material remnants that are cheaper yet still bigger in size so they will fit over the canvas. Then I can add whatever embellishments I want like stickers.

I put the pins on those - it works well and it's easy to move pins around on it. I tend to have themed ones - like my Sleeping Beauty pin board.

We use a decorative cork board. It is in the hallway, and it is fun to rearrange our pins occasionally.

I bought some cork board tiles on Amazon. So far, I only have my pins in two places. I have one square in my closet with my keepers, and a park of another in a picture frame with some of my more girly pins.

I think a nice decorative picture frame or a shadow box would be nice, then you can possibly add it into your home decor easily.

I randomly collect pins and I had a large glass vase and I started tossing them inside. I guess I can do a better job of organizing them I just haven't gotten around to it yet.
