Pin displays?

[trainplane3]

I have a lot of pins. Actually, I don't think the term a lot covers it but all they're doing right now is sitting in their boxes/wrappers rotting away. What are some good ways to display them? I have a good deal of Star Wars weekend and Epcot cast/WDI pins that I would actually like to see instead of sitting in a corner of my room.

I made these to display ones I will never trade!

We use the big pin binders to sort and display our collections. I have seen really cool painted cork board with a frame around it that looks real nice.

I have one binder filled up completely. It's 5x4 with six pages. I suppose I could get more binders for pins I don't want out but...

...the cork board idea sounds like the path I want to go down. I've seen this done and it usually looks pretty nice. I guess it's the best way to display pins. Thanks guys!

If you want to display them then yes the Cork board idea would probably be your best bet or make shadow boxes.

Here are some ideas from pintrest..

We use 18"x24" framed black canvas found at Michael's craft stores.

Thanks! I like this idea too. I haven't done anything yet with my pins. Probably once I get home from this WDW trip I'll get it done.

i believe there's someone on etsy who sells the cork boards but in the shape of cinderella's castle! i thought that'd be a pretty cool way to display them. i just keep mine in a binder but i'm running out of space!

We display our pins in frames and mount them on the wall in our family room. We frames that we bought from Michaels, and then replaced the backing with black foam-core board that we mount individual pins to.

More than a few people had their jaws dropped as soon as they walk into the room.

Does anyone know where to buy a pin binder with a shoulder strap that could fit a lot of pins or would allow additional sheets if needed? My son has a ton and would like to have something to bring into the parks as well as have the ability to orginize them.

I'm sorry I don't however consider crafting one out of felt. Its light weight and considerable cheap.

I guess this qualifies as a "pin display". This is the vest that I'm wearing today to a 4th of July party this afternoon.

Happy 4th of July to everyone celebrating it!

Looks heavy! Though not as bad as the guy that used to walk around in a trenchcoat covered in pins.
