Maybe you could buy a large display frame Karen,
Get something to stick the pins into put it inside the frame and stick them to it.
I know most the display frames open easily at the front as a door, Just an idea.

I was thinking along those lines, will have a look around see what I find. Will keep you all updated on what I come up with.

The thimble collectors cases might be suitable. I can't start collecting any badges as i have loads of pin badges from over the years for charities, in jewellery drawers, and i have all my small clocks in wall cases and my hubby has spoons in wall cases. I'm happy watching the bird boxes, getting excited in anticipation of a nest or two again this year. |

 I made this out of pallet wood and as a hook I used an old clay pipe I found mudlarking on the Thames foreshore, I was gonna hang something from it but ended up sticking my pins in it. Need to work my collection though!! |
