So, I have framed my Tangled pins... but I am having trouble with some pins staying closed, and some are turning lopsided / upside down..




To keep some of the pin's up I used a sewing pin (if you can see the little pink dots!) That helped with those from going lop-sided... but I still need some advise on the heavier pins / magnetic pins....


any advise??
 
Just an idea, but would sticky putty behind the pin help keep it centered and from tilting one way or another? As for keeping pins closed, no idea. Good luck!
 
on ebay you can buy extra pin posts - look for tie tac posts (I got a pack of 72 for $3) - and get some JB metal weld - you can add the extra posts to your pins and keep them super secure!

That's a great idea if you are absolutely sure that you will never want to sell or trade them; otherwise, you shouldn't be gluing/welding anything to your pin.
 
I use glue dots. They are in the scrapbooking section of Michaels or Hobby Lobby. That really helps to hold them securely. Then you can remove it if needed later. A little goo gone if there is any residue left.

Works great for me!
