I used quite a few of the disney pins for an album two years ago. They were the perfect embellishment for my Disney ABC album. I used my tool for cutting the backs off buttons to remove the back. I suppose you could also use wire cutters or something or get DH to help. I attached them to my pages with glue dots. I tend to have rather "lumpy" pages when I scrapbook anyway (buttons, metal charms, fibers, etc.) so the disney pins seem flat by comparison! I have never noticed an indentation of facing page.
