What Are Your Pin Boards Made Of?

[linz_pinz]

Hey guys!!!

I'm quickly running out of room on my pin boards. They're not too giant to begin with, just a couple of cork boards I found at target with really pretty frames that I really like, but I've run out of room and can't keep buying more. So I think I'm going to adventure into the realm for a handmade board... what did you guys make yours our of? Is there any kind of fun alternative to a pin board that can work? I love my collection so much that I don't want to just hide it away in a book or anything, maybe the traders, but I have quite a few others that I'd like to keep out...

Thanks!!!

I use canvas. I get them at HobLob. they have black ones, and they look really pretty.

canvas. for the ones I hang sis paints background scenery for me so so it is usually 11 x 14 or 16 x 20.

I use cheap cork boards but put black self adhesive fabric on them. I had never thought of the canvas, they would be easier to display.

I'd likely go with canvas, too.

My big lion king collection is on spray painted glossed foam, one of my lion king grails is on canvas and another on card inside a frame, my tangled collection is on a painted canvas, my randoms and stitch are on cork!
oh and my mini frozen collection is on glossed foam in a frame :lol:

I used a display bored and warped it with fabric then put it in a frame.

Ohhh canvas!!! I don't know why I had never thought of that, you guys are so smart! haha, thank you for the advice, I actually have a lot of canvases here that I could use (I'm a painter).

I have some boards I've made out of coroplast (corrugated plastic, like yard signs) covered with fabric, and also a couple of shadowboxes made by lost-sun-princess.

I made mine of 1/4 plywood, foam board and cork. I have a thread on the forum. It is in the shape of Jiminy.

I have framed corkboards, shadow boxes and canvas. I like the canvas but I got a smaller one and its already full because you can only pin in certain spots because of the wooden frame that the canvas is stretched/nailed onto. So get bigger than you think. Ive already run out of room on my Gaston canvas and now need another.

I like how the shadow boxes look, framed etc. Makes for a nicer display I think.

I buy regular frames, take out the glass, and cut cork to size. Since I think cork looks ugly, I will either cover that with a foam sheet cut to size or a printed photo.
