I have bought "memory boxes" (think they're pretty similar to shadow boxes) and used these to display pins- in also pretty crafty so enjoy creating a background with board and then fabric or scrapbook paper which IMO is much nicer than just plain cork board. I have also bought some custom lanyards to display my collections (or some of them haha) on as I figured half the fun is showing them off at the parks! Sadly they're so heavy I don't wear them for long!
Nope, just laid the felt down over top of the batting (yes, that's what it's called. It's what you use in quilts.How do you get the felt to stay? Do you hot glue gun it to the batting? What exactly do you mean by batting? Is it called that at a craft store! Really liked the pictures of your displayed pins in the glass shadow boxes. Wasn't sure though how you exactly did it.
Nope, just laid the felt down over top of the batting (yes, that's what it's called. It's what you use in quilts.) the weight of the pins plus the pressure from the glass keeps the felt from sliding.

Correct.Oh that sounds like a really great approach. That's for the shadowboxes you have with the glass in the front correct?
Correct.I usually get them from Hobby Lobby. I'll take some pictures of the layers tonight so you can see.

I have a mixture of frames , standard frames are absolutely fine for pins that aren't multi-layered (occasionally I need to reinforce the back so it holds but not too often) . Box frames are much better for the multi-layered ones or just plain wider ones .
I've seen people use just the frame and remove the glass altogether , not an option for me (I'm allergic to house dust!) But that looks pretty good sometimes .
I'm also focusing more on the thin plastic rather than glass frames , because they're lighter and have a bit more flexibility
I think I will use the large framed cork board for the Elliot pins because I think it will go well will the Disney section of our basement.
