OK we all know Jumbo pins can be kinda ridiculously large but also really cool because of the great attention to detail they have. So my question is, what do you all do with them?

Answer the poll question above!

And if you wear them on yourself at times, HOW? How do you do it without them falling off?

If it's a pin for one my collections that I have a themed pin bag for, I use the jumbo pin as the center piece for the page and add the other pins as accents to the jumbo.

If I don't have a themed pin bag for it then they are sitting in boxes until I figure something out :P
 
Mostly, I leave them in their boxes, hidden away. Some are in their boxes, but displayed. But I have deboxed my 4th of July Jumbos, and have them as centerpieces in frames with other 4th of July pins around them. So that is giving me courage to debox some of the others, as I work around to getting their themes framed.
 
I put them up on my pin boards so I can look at them! I don't know how so many people can keep their pins locked up in pin bags, I really love seeing them everyday.
 
I usually put one on the very bottom of my lanyard if it's part of the collection on the lanyard, otherwise I'll have it on my pin board. :D
 
If the pin comes in a beautiful box (like Art of Ariel), I will keep it in the box. If not, and it's a jumbo for my collection, I frame it.

I don't have any real jumbos, I have the frozen "jumbo" but it's really not that large :P! But if I did have any id put them on my boards wih the other pins from that collection ^_^
 
Unfortunately, I can only get away with displaying a few pins in my bedroom, the rest, especially Jumbo's are tucked away. My husband's not into Disney!
 
I drill a hole in them and hang them from my landyard. JK :lol::lol:

I display mine in frames or if they come in a nice display box I leave them in there and display them like that.
Although like Jazzy B Bunny, I'm running out of room fast!!
 
My Maleficent grails are framed and hung above my dresser in my closet, so when I get clothes out of my closet/dresser, I see them each day. :) Some of my other jumbos are in my pin bag with the corresponding themed page of pins surrounding them. I'm still trying to figure out how I want to display some of them...

What I do, for example, all the 2009 DLR Haunted Mansion O-Pin House boxed jumbo pins, I just put a decorative tack on the wall and hang them from their pre-cut holes on the boxes that the pin stores displayed them on. That way, they're ready for hanging! Now the mansion super jumbo pin LE100 that came in it's own big box, I just have sitting upright on a display shelf it's so big! And the giant mansion E ticket boxed pin that opens up, I just have sitting on a table. I love it when jumbo pins are sold in a packaging that's easy to display. It's like having their own little display case!
 
Some jumbos are in my keeper bags but a few of the lower value ones I have that black felt plastic page they sell at the parks and I just put them in those with my binders.
 
Right now all my pins, boxed sets, and framed sets are packed away right now as we are going to try and put the house up for sale and will be moving to a new location.

But once we move to wherever we go to I plan on putting everything out to display. For the jumbos, most of them come in boxes so I would leave them in their boxes and store them in a curio cabinet that I have. The ones that come on Backing Cards I would display.
 
I like my jumbos to be displayed on my board with my other pins but if I kept one on my lanyard I would put it on the bottom and us some sort of locking back. I don't trust the Mickey head backs, lol.
