My husband and boys bought a 5x7 picture frame that fits a 4x6 picture in it. Surrounding the picture is a cork board area which is used to display pins. I was so excited to buy one of these frames when we went to WDW last week. However, I was told that they do not sell these anymore. Does anyone know how I can get one of these frames? I checked ebay and didn't see any? Please help!
 
Not sure where you could get something like that. However, I would suggest getting a shadow box (or other type of frame of your choice) and add cork board to make your own display. I think it would look really neat!
 
I picked up two shadow boxes for my kids at Pottery Barn Outlet and I just press them into to the backing that si there, works out great.
 
I took it one step further. I bought some shadow boxes at a bargain store. Didn't like the backround color and it didn't hold pins very well. I went to a craft store and bought some 1/4 inch thick foam core board ( two pieces of poster board with stiff foam in the middle ). Found some fabric in the color I liked and got some spray adhesive. I removed the old back out of the frame. Cut the foam board the same shape. Set the fabric on the opening of the frame, and them pushed the board into the frame. I made the fit a little tight, so when you pushed the board in, it stretched the fabric tight so there were no ripples. Then spray the adhesive on the four edges and fold the fabric over onto it, then cut the excess fabric. Put the hard back on the back of the shadow box. PRESTO! Load pins from the front and enjoy. The 2 boxes, foam core board, fabric, and adhesive cost me $40.00. Happy collecting.
