Custom Pin Trading backpack Idea
Alrighty so I had come to realize that the pin trading case that I had was not suitable for traveling around the parks. So I went out and searched the internet for a suitable small backpack that could hold pins.
Disney did make one a while back but I could not find one online. Then I went to ebay and found the backpack I wanted so much. The seller was asking way too much money then I would have rather spent, so I walked away.
So I decided to come up with my own design for a similar backpack. I knew that I had gotten a super small backpack when someone got a pair of shoes. The bag looks really cool. The main problem was finding out how I could store my pins properly.
Then it hit me. I had a small 2 ring binder not in use that was collecting dust. I took the thing apart and saved the cardboard and the 2 ring clasp. I had found some paper bags with logos on them and wrapped the cardboard with it. The I took some old nuts and bolts and added the 2 ring clasp. I hot glue the whole thing into the backpack and viola! a pin trading backpack that is small and custom made.
It's still a work in progress however. I need the lovely felt that disney uses and the plastic cover that goes over the pins to protect.
I also decided that the outside was too plain. So I am going to take all my scappers and piece them together on the bag and then glue them on!!!!
Will post pictures when its complete!!!!
