Pin Collecting "newb"

Princess Tessa · 02-23-2006

I have a very small collection - less than a lanyard full and I was just wonderin' what you do with the pins after you fill up your lanyard?

Where do you store them all? Just in a binder where you can't see them?
I don't get it! lol
I am interested in starting a small collection but I want to do it right!

Thanks guys

Hey Tess, even though I don't have a lanyard and don't plan on getting one anytime soon, I DID start to collect pins. I am currently looking for an inexpensive way to store them too.

Although, I think this would suit you PERFECT:

You can find similar things like these on eBay too.

My DS has started a small collection of about 30-40 pins. Last summer we bought a small cork board at WDW just for pins so he can hang it on his wall and see his pins. I wish it was bigger because it's full and doesn't have all of his pins on it. Next time I think I'll just go to Wal Mast and buy a larger one.

Princess Tessa · 02-23-2006

ooooh wishy-poo! I LOVE that lil' mermy one!
also, Disney Teach - that is a great idea! I'll get a corkbord in FL

lopo · 02-23-2006

DisneyTeacher, the cork board is a fantastic idea! I think I'll skip picking one up in FL (I always have a problem trying to come home on the plane with all the new stuff I find), and pick up a cork board locally. Yeah! Another project . . . but this one will be fun.

Thanks!

mrspooky · 02-23-2006

I like the cork board idea- my kids have multiple lanyards, but the corkboard would be better to display them. Thanks!

c-palace · 02-23-2006

I use a corkboard and they work GREAT! I can admire my pins each day with them on there. And you can hang it on the wall to make it look nice.

MommytoMJM · 02-23-2006

We put MJ's on 16x20 art canvases andhang them on our walls....

gingita · 02-23-2006

My roommate has a cute corkboard for her pins and it works well. Mine are still on lanyards because I like to take them to the parks to trade. I am going to invest in a corkboard though for the ones I don't plan on trading. But I still like to take them to the parks to show off, so I haven't done it quite yet.

I also collect the country Mickey pins, and if I don't take them with me to the parks, I can never remember which countries I don't have yet. So another reason I just use lanyards for now.

Willbegone · 02-23-2006

Thank you for asking the question! I was wondering the same thing. We have just started Emilie a small collection (mainly thanks to a very AWESOME DCer) and I know we were going to buy more in March. My DH wants big on the buying more because of storage and now I can do the cork board. THANKS SO MUCH!

**dhoughton** · 02-23-2006

Along with the corkboard idea. If you get a big or small one, use felt to make a castle or a Disney design and then put your pins on. I have a castle board, an Epcot board with the geosphere, and MGM on with the scrolling film and an AK one with animals. I think they look like 3 dimensional pin pictures.
You can also create scenes with the character pins.

DisneyHog6 · 02-23-2006

Well, we have 5 or 6 lanyards, but for all the extra pins that don't fit on our lanyards we have an Disney pin album. Here's a link to one on ebay that's like ours.

Disney Pin Album

It's just like a photo album with binder rings and the removable pages. It's pretty nice. It works great for traveling with the pins. The corkboard is a better idea for displaying them though...

P.S. Tessa, I love your new avatar...

Princess Tessa · 02-23-2006

oooh MommytoMJM I really love the art canvas idea!
I think I'll get a corkbord and cover it with a pretty cloth or something...make it look as pink and girly as the rest of my room

P.S. thankies Dewey - you know you're my favourite dewey (who is NOT a duck)

Princess Tessa · 02-23-2006

You should go to this lovely little part of the Disney website HERE and read all about it. They do a nice job of hitting the highlights of pin trading... Click around a bit, but the "Get Started" portion is what will help you the most!

As for me and my collection... Well some of them are still on a lanyard. Some are stuck on a lovely piece of cloth and carefully rolled up and put away. Some are in a shadow box with pictures of me + Goofy, Fast Passes and other memorabilia. And I have a few sitting on my night stand...

The cool thing about the pins is that you can pretty much do whatever you like with them...
