Hi everyone,
I am looking for advice on how to affordably store / display my (relatively new) collection (<100 pins). Does anyone have suggestions for favorite display methods - cork boards, shadow boxes, binders, other ideas?? I am looking for a solution that ideally makes it easy to view/show the pins, but not too difficult to remove them for trading trips.

Thanks!! :drool::drool::drool:
 
If you get foam core board you can line shadow boxes with it and they press on easily and come off just as nice!

If you're in the US and have a micheals nearby you can ususally get shadow boxes for 50% off or buy 1 get one free...which is also 50% lol. But they have packs where you can get 2-3 shadow boxes for 19.99 and Bogo!
 
It will only display around 25 or 30 pins, but I just love my spoon rack case I bought at Michael's! It's like a shadow box with a nice hinged door with glass window. Has black velvet board for sticking pins into. I just very easily removed the spoon racks inside. It makes for a very elegant looking way to display your favorite pins!
 
I posted the this the other day about my solution.


"I know this topic has been discussed a lot, and a lot of members are using various craft boards and papers to display/store their pins. I've started to use foam sheets. They're sold at the large craft store chains in 12" x 18" sheets. I just cut them in half, punch 3 holes in the side and keep thm in a large binder. They're soft and are easy to put pins on and they're acid free. I use black because I think is shows the pins well. Has anybody else tried these?"

The binders are a little inconvenient for displaying pins to more than a couple of folks.
