Pin Backs

[SCHBR'smom]

I was hoping someone here might be able to help me. My DD4 has a Princess Leia Minnie pin that she loves, but has lost the mickey head back somewhere in the black hole she calls a room. We haven't been able to find it, but she wants to wear it on her lanyard. Is there any way we can get another back for it? Thanks

I buy locking pin backs for all my pins. Otherwise they get lost very easily! I get mine off of ebay.

If you want just the mickey head, pm me. I'm sure I can find one around here.

ETA...not my auction! Just a general search for secure pin backs and this is what came up. If the mods need to delete the link feel free!

Hey. I bought some secure pin backs from a seller on an auction site that we usually don't talk about on the DIS and they are REALLY SECURE. The Mickey head ones tend to come off and these really stay put and are great if you want to make sure you don't lose any pins.

This particular seller was recommended to me by a fellow pin trader and they have great feedback on that auction site. My transaction also went really smoothly. As we aren't allowed to post any specific information in a post here, feel free to PM me if you want more info.

(I don't know the person I'm talking about or anything, I swear. I'm just a pin trader who doesn't want to lose any pins and I did some research to find out what the best replacement backs would be.)

Motorcycle shops sell the locking pin backs too, at a reasonable price. I just get mine from Harley Davidson. 1/4 the cost of Disney locking pins. Just another option if you don't want to mess with ebay.

Hey, I didn't know that! Thanks for posting that! If I ever need some without waiting for shipping I will absolutely check one of the local motorcycle shops.

They sell replacement mickey head (rubber) pin backs in the Disney stores too.

Thanks, everyone!!! I feel much better knowing I can get her a new back for her pins.

At the park they sell packs..but most CM's will give you one.

You can get secure backs at any jewelery store
