Ask and ye shall receiveWow.....love them both! Thank you for sharing! Can't wait to see the Chesie board!
I just used a standard picture frame , sometimes the back doesn't sit quite as deep because the pins protrude but I added eyelets and string to hang them so you don't notice it .These boards look brilliant DavidSo nice to see the pins all out on display!
What did you use for the backing board? I wanted to do something like this for my Djali pins using a nice print I found on Etsy! But had no idea where to start!
I'll try and explain better .
I use a standard frame . Remove the back from the frame and cover it with whatever colour paper you want to use . If you're putting a picture in the centre do that first .
Lay the pins around the edges where you feel they fit best but DON'T push them into it right away , you'll just bend the posts , when you're happy with the layout make a hole for each post (I use a bradle but a nail or similar would work too) .
With certain pins they don't stay in place as well as I'd like so I place a tiny piece of blue-tac behind them to hold them in place , although when you put the back into the frame the glass will hold most of them in place . I don't bother with the Mickey Head backs however I do put a bit of masking tape over the exposed posts so I don't stab myself too often
When you fold the tabs on the frames back down if you've used more bulky pins they may not reach so I try to avoid these type of pins (I use shadow box frames for these)
As for hanging it on the wall , I always remove the standard fold out fixings as it won't sit flush to the wall with the posts poking out the back and add my own rings and string fittings .
If I do put Jafar together I'll try and take a few progress photos to illustrate better .
The frames were a standard size , I bought them from the Range (20x16) they backing paper was also from there . I'm off this week so I hope to complete the Jafar set plus a Villains & Princess frame
