Too many pins, not enough storage, HELP!!

[farrellbarrel]

Hi everybody! Recently, I really have been adding to my pin collection. I only have one lanyard, and I can no longer fit all my pins on it. I have some pins I am in no way trading (My Disneyland 50th Anniversary pin!!). I've heard of pin boards, but do not know how to make one. I also considered a pin bag, but I want to show off some my collection at home. All suggestions welcome, and thank you!

When my sons' pins exceeded their lanyard space, they just got more lanyards. At least one lanyard is a "keep" lanyard and the others are "willing to trade" lanyards.

Just get a board from Wal Mart.....

Do you just not have the backs on the board? Do they stay well on normal cork boards?

Yes just decorate a regular cork board and keep your backs somewhere else... It will be a great display... put the ones you want to trade on your lanyard...

Try an album!

I have mine by purchasing two leather 3 ring binders and some foam sheets from a craft store,
then I went to my local Kinko's and used the tools in their buisness center to make them!

This is how to make them:

I cut the foam sheets in half using the large paper cutter

Then using the hole punch put holes in them

I purchased some clear vinyl sheets used to put documents in

Finally I put it all together by placing the foam sheets in the album and separating each with a clear vinyl sheet, put the pins on each sheet in different theme's and voila you have a Pin Album that you can share and put away where your collection will be protected.

I have some of mine on a bulletin board. They haven't fallen off yet, and I keep the backs in a small box in my closet.

I was definitively worried about them falling out...I just put them on a bulletin board, left the backs in a bag in my "Disney drawer".

I'm not that crafty, but I might help my little sister do that! Her cardboard display isnt really working out...

Honestly it was very simple! Also it allows you to customize it any way your want especially considering that you could use any 3 ring binder and any color of foam sheets that fits your preferences.

Thank you so much! I think she will definitely enjoy that! Right now I'm trying a plain bulletin board.
