Need some ideas on how to frame a pin set.

I am aiming to get all of the DLRP - Through the Years Series, and have no idea how I am going to display them.

I know that I want to frame these pins, but I am not sure how to go about it. I have no idea what sort of frame to get, where to purchase these frames from (I am from the UK) or how they would look best displayed.

I was just looking for a bit of inspiration really, as I am not really the creative type.

What I've done is mount some cork board inside a frame and then layered over the cork with either a sheet of foam or a printout of a Disney image (desktop wallpapers are usually high enough resolution to print out well). Here are some photos of how they look...

I haven't glassed these pins in, because I do want them accessible for when I wear them on a lanyard at Disneyland. If you want to glass them in, you might have to go with a shadowbox or have it matted in such a way to provide enough depth that the pins aren't pressed against the glass. Doing that sounds like it might be a professional framing job, but for what I did, I was able to get all the supplies easily at a crafting department store.

You have some lovely pins, not sure what sort of image I would go for as it is the timeline series.

a basic solid color background would work.

You could do something like ths and even have blurbs and put your pins where the pictures are.
