Evolution of my collection! (Update 6/7/16)

Added photos of my second pin board! The princesses get their own place now!

Vixy, way to think outside of the box! I love when people display their pins creatively! Plain corkboards, while better than nothing, are just so boring to me.

 

[Vixy]

Thanks! It's really been a lot of fun doing them.

Added photos of my starter collection (one pin as yet) of Administrative Professionals pins, to display at work on a lovely lanyard from Wyllieam!

I was trying to think how to put it up, because push pins and nails aren't so pretty, and then I thought... ALL THOSE SCRAPPERS! Shoving scrappers into the wall is so strangely satisfying. After that I went and switched out the pushpin holding up the kitchen calendar for a cherry pie Mickey icon scrapper.

That is awesome!

I've been trying to figure out what handmade thing I'm making each of my girls for Hanukkah. Now I know! Just need to figure out shapes...

 

[Vixy]

Thanks so much! I really need to add more updated photos once I get some pins that are coming in the mail. I may need to start a dedicated Pirates board...

Let me know if you would like any tips on construction that I didn't cover in the original post!

I love seeing your collection grow - Such cute pins! I love those chess-piece Peter Pan pins... Very cool.

I also love that pink and purple octopus plushie sitting on your computer. It looks very huggable.

super cool boards vixy keep up the great work!

 

[Vixy]

Thanks guys! And yep, the octopus is quite squishy. It occurs to me I never gave it a name. Hm...

I still need to post more current photos of the boards since I've acquired so many more pins here... but I have a few more coming so I'll wait a bit. (I keep saying that.)

 

[mcedes]

very very nice

 

[Vixy]

Updated OP with most recent acquisitions. Boy, some of those pins look lonely, don't they? They need friends!

 

[erudolf]

Love the Hatter hat! Very creative and nicely done!

 

[SoraPandora]

Love how you used an It's a Small World tee shirt for the back - Very creative!

Also... The lanyard Wyllieam made you is gorgeous... Now I want one. Might have to go check out his thread again.

 

[abrown1087]

The Small World board is very cool

 

[crushedbubbles]

I love your it's a small world pin board! Very very creative! =)

 

[Vixy]

Updated the top post in this thread with all new pics of my collection!

 

[tiggeriffic]

Those all look great!!!

 

[Disxar]

Amazing collection! Great boards and amazing pins!

 

[Vixy]

Thanks! I just have to figure out what to do about the Brave pins now...

 

[ElysionsPrincess]

Your boards are so creative and amazing! I am totally in love with your Brave pin collection, too! Stunning! You even have the Pixar ones!

 

[Vixy]

Thank you! I got lucky and was first to respond when someone on DPF was selling theirs.

 

[BugCatcherJenna]

Omg! Your brave collection... YOU MUST MAKE A NEW BOARD FOR IT!!! I need to see it!! It will be perfect I can see it now!! Plus you're getting the last two pins you need from to co-op!!! It will be so awesome!!!

 

[Vixy]

Hee! I guess it would be good to make a board since they'll probably make *more* pins too. (I actually only need one from the co-op; I was going to trade the Celtic Braid to Charlie, except he doesn't need it now. So it'll just be a trader.)

But I'll have to figure out where to find more wall space!

(Does anyone else have these problems? I never thought I'd have this problem!)

 

[toonlocker]

Oh my goodness. Those are some artistic ways of displaying your collection. Coolness level: 100.
