How do you display your Pins at home?
We finally got around to framing our favorite pins into themed (kinda) shadow boxes and hung them on the wall. Anyone else use them to keep magic alive in the house by displaying them?

My DW is the pin collector but I have used shadow boxes to display them. I use foam board for the backing. It works okay...I'm trying to find a better way because after awhile they want to fall out...Any ideas?

We use shadow boxes, too but the back (where you push in the pins) is not deep enough, so we have added cork and then cover the cork with felt that has a sticky back. Seems to work for us.

We have a large (3' X 3') piece of felt hung by a wood dowel in our hall. I glued a yard stick on the bottom to keep it in place. We can move the pins easily as we acquire more. We have fun moving them around, sometimes we have them by whose they are or by character. Seeing it all the time reminds us of the great trips we've taken and can't wait to go back!

Actually I have an idea that worked real well for us. We painted the backing with black acrylic craft paint. The paint made the cloth backing stiffer and the pins dont fall out.

My husband has his hanging on his lanyard, he unclipped the end so it hangs down straight and put a nail in the wall to hang it from. It is full so we have started a new one that I take with us on trips. I have to be careful not to buy duplicates though cause we dont bring the full one with us

We do the same thing each year - we started in 2000 with a few small pins. We've graduated to 15-17 good pins per trip, along with a few of our squished pennies. I realized a few weeks ago when I was working on our '09 case that we have spent waaay too much on pins over the past several years! But they sure look nice in our Disney room!

I buy thin craft styrofoam, cut it to fit the box, then cover in black felt. Looks nice, and the pins stay put.

We went to wal-mart one day and it happened to have some cloth that was a blue in color and was checker board pattern. In every other square is Mickey Mouse in a pose and the other was blank. So I got some backing and cut it all in the shape of the banners that hang from the bottom of a trumpet. With the "VV" at the bottom. Got a wooden dowl and sewed that into the top and use the command hooks to hang it from the wall in my DS room.It holds 7 pins across and 17 full rows down. The "V's" each hold about 20 more pins. Then nice thing is it just rolls up and in the suit case it goes. I am going to buy some new hooks and hang it from my window at the hotel when we go at Thanksgiving this year.

I use a frame that is divided into 9 different boxes for 9 photos, but instead I used different scrapbooking paper for the background in each square. I use different squares for different parks and resorts. Then poked the pins through putting the pin clasp on the back.
I was able to use the board that came with the frame.
I have put a photo from one of my trips in the middle box. You could use photos for the background as well.

I don't really 'display' mine. I have all mine in a ziploc bag and some on my lanyard that I take out anytime I want to show them off.

I have mine attached to bright red towels and those attaced to hangers. My creativity is limited.

OK...so we're a little nuts. Family of five, and my DW got us into pin trading. It was her alternative to keep the kids away from wanting autographs from all the characters.
Anyway, we have been collecting for years, and have just kept them in Ziploc storage bags. But a few weeks ago, we bought cork squares at WalMart (something like $6 for four 12in x 12in sqaures), and I bought some 2x4ft sheets of 1/4 in. plywood at Lowe's. I cut one foot off of the end, to make the plywood 2x3ft, and glued the cork squares onto the plywood. Now we are going to cover it all in felt/velvet (using a staple gun) and then i'll hang them on the wall using wire. I have made two of these boards, so that's 12 sq feet of pin-displaying glory!
But we have a LOT of pins. We've probably pin traded for the last four trips. And each time my wife starts out by buying at least 300 pins on eBay. Last time, we went through all 300 pins (and more, since we re-traded some of the pins we traded for) in seven days.
I think we'll fill those boards. And most of my wife's pins are in some of those pin-display books that she got on clearance at the Disney Outlet store at the Outlet mall just across the interstate from Downtown Disney.

Display
I don't display mine. I have over 1000 and I keep them in zippered portfolios. I'm the only one in my family who is obsessed with pin trading. I display them when I go to the parks at the Pin Trading Hut but I make sure the pins are protected. Some of mine are quite valuble. I have 4 portfolios stuffed full and only one of them has pins for trade (it's crammed full with commons).

Hi! I don't have a ton of Pins, actually I really restrain myself from buying them b/c I love them all!
The Pins I do have I display at work, I push them into my cubicle wall, I get a lot of compliments on them! This way I can see them everyday and sometimes they help me get through a tough day at work.
