Pin Display Ideas?

[Loomi]

Hey guys!

So it is a real sadness to me that all my pins are cooped up in boxes and wrapped in bubble wrap and not being enjoyed. Right now I don't have the space to display them, but in the next few months my fiance & I should be buying our first home together and I will finally be able to display

Now I have ALWAYS said that although I am a huge Disney fan, I do not want Disney stuff to overwhelm our living space. So I was looking for a nice way to display some of my pin collections that would not be over bearing. I thought I would start off with Djali pins, because it's probably my smallest collection.

There are lots of really nice Disney prints on Etsy, and I found this lovely HOND one that has Djali and Esmeralda on..

My question here is what do you think would be the best way to turn this into a pin display?

Print it directly onto a stretched canvas and add pins around the image?
Mount an A5 size print in a shadow box? How exactly would I attach pins to a shadow box? Would they poke through?
Mount a print onto some white board?

I have never tried to display any pins before and I have poked about the forum and read some tips... but just wondering what you guys think would be the best option for something like this?

I'm not very crafty, but I did come across this pin display tutorial on Pinterest once, so I thought I would pass it along to you: http://www.polkadotchair.com/2012/09/diy-disney-pin-display.html/

I've also seen several tutorials on Pinterest that simply use corkboard and fabric.

Maybe you can get the print on canvas? That seems the easiest to me. (What a beautiful print, btw! Love it!)

Let me know what you decide to do! I'm very interested in making something as well once I get a bigger collection.
