DIY Small Pin Pouch for Parks
Hi All,
Its my first time posting although I've been lurking for a while and learning heaps. My kids really got into pin trading while we were at Disney California in January. I bought them a couple of pin sets so they could get started and they loved trading with cast members. It really helped them gain confidence and talk to people as they are normally quite shy around new folks.
The only issue was that they were so disappointed as they lost a few pins from their lanyards :- the rubber back mickey heads kept falling off.
We're heading to HKDL in a couple of weeks (yay!) and they were really excited to continue their pin trading adventures. I wanted to make sure we didn't get into the same situation again with the pins falling off their lanyards and scoured the net looking for an alternative. I decided to make them a little pin trading pouch each that they could clip on to their lanyards or directly onto their jeans. The pouch is from the dollar store and measures roughly 6x4 inches. I added the iron on Mickey decoration and some felt "pages" inside for their pins. Its small and flat enough that it's quite easy to carry around and holds roughly a lanyard's worth of pins
Looking forward to seeing their faces when I give it to them
