How do you display your pins?

[butterflyminnie]

HI everyone!:wave:

I just got back from florida and had a great time at disney. I had my first expirience with pin trading and it was a lot of fun. :sohappy: Since I don't know when I'll be going back, I wanted to display my pins in some way. DH was thinking of pining them to cardboard and frameing it, I was thinking of a corkboard. any other Ideas?
thanks

I know there was at least one more, but I can't find it. :shrug:

Here's what I made..

These are my daughters, I made larger ones for DH and I. I took artist canvas (they come in several sizes and shapes), picked out fabrics, glued them down with spray adhesive, used some decorative trim for the borders, and added eye-hangers to attach the ribbons.
My kids love them, and best of all it was no-sew, very easy!

I bought a big cork board at Michael's or Joann's on sale. They currently occupy the majority of that space. It'd be just as easy to get some fabric, cover a ready-made cork board and staple-gun the fabric to the back so you'd have a nicer background for the pins.

You could also make a memo/memory board like this or this example. You can also buy these at craft stores like Michael's or Joann's ready-made.

I have mine on lanyards. I bought a small wooden four peg wall rack from Ikea and hang the lanyards on that in my bedroom. It looks pretty cool.

Nadie,
Thanks!! That gives me a great idea for my daughter's collection.

I have my pins on my 2 lanyards hanging on my wall. I love the idea below, but I was wondering, what do you do w/ the pin backings? Thanks.

Thanks! :wave:

The best thing is, the backs are on the pins, keeping them from rotating around. It is an art canvas on a wood frame with an open back, so it is thin enough to poke them through and secure the backs.
