Hi girls! And guys! And kids! And mice!

I did these as a quick mini project because I was tired of my pins being stuck in a bag and in my drawer! All I needed was two sets of wooden photo frames from Michael's ($1.99 a set) and a roll of thin cork DIY board ($3) hot glue gun and glue and some paint which I already had :)

I doubled up the cork to make it thicker but really, it wasn't so necessary. I painted each a bright color (pink, yellow, blue and orange) then used a crackle glaze, then painted them solid white.

A little hot gluey gluey action, and viola!






(Sorry this one looks darker, it's now dark outside and my lighting sucks)





Tada! It's perfect for my budding little collection. I have some others I didn't add to these just yet, so they'll be a bit more full. With a quick tack to the wall, they'll be set.


How do you display your pins?

Cute idea! This will be great for displaying my kids special pins. This is how I display our pins from our trips but wanted something different for the pins that belong to my kids.

I'll have to take some pictures of what I use, but it is basically a black shadow box with a hinged lid from Michael's Crafts. It has a soft back that the pins will go right into and only costs around $20 +/-. The great thing about it is you do not have to dust your pins.

Another good choice is simply using a painting canvas. They are really inexpensive for a lot of surface area and all you have to do to make them look formal is a picture frame.

I have to show this to my daughter. Her pins are in a drawer and she would LOVE to display them instead. I can't believe it never crossed my mind to create a display like this!

Well as I love making crafts and what not, I now know I will make a custom frame to display things in. I especially like the crackle effect. Thanks!
