What to do with the lapel pins?

[Haebbie]

Put them into the drawer? Why not?
There they are safe and sound. But nobody can gaze them. That’s at least not the way to go. So I thought on it and bought a perforated metal plate too stick them at.
But do I want to hang the ugly tin at the wall? No.
I found an old door frame and made a frame for the tin. An old burlap bag gave the fabric, glued together and ready was the hat pin display.
Hope you like it.

Great idea, Haebbie, I'm going to work on that idea. Thanks

Haebbie, a good idea.
I have gifted many of the pins to Buck fans at shows.
I stored mine in a bag and never gave them much thought.
Now, I'll think more about them. DM

i think you will!!!! show us when you find them ok---frame looks great --will look awesome.....!!!!!

 

[Haebbie]

First trial. Not as good as I thought.
I didn’t use the doubles. But I think with more pins it would look better.

Herbert - You and I think a bit alike. I organized my hat pins yesterday. I just had them in a small plastic container and really am not interested in displaying them so I just mounted them on a
piece of single layer white cardboard. I than placed the board in a 1 gal ziplock bag for storage. Now I can see what I have at a glance without pouring them out on a table.

 

[Haebbie]

Two souls, one thought.
That cardboard looks really good. Why not showing these cute lil pins? This cardboard in a photo frame would make a nice picture.

I used a 12x12 cork sheet. Meant to turn a wall into a bulletin board. I think it came in a pack of 3.

Courage to make a gap
May be some more pins will find their way on my board. And there’s enough space for them.

A lot of pins have been made …

Where do you get pins like that?

If I had that many Buck lapel pins, my GI boonie would be nothing but pins.
Literally no more m81 Woodland , just Buck lapel pins.


I only have one ATM though.

I might collect a few and put them in my 112 displays at the Blade Show this year..Maybe right by the oddest of the 112's so I can find them in the case..

Wear them on your lapel if your shirt or jacket is so equipped?
Tack onto your tie?
Use as an hat pin?
Attach to the lid of your sporran or fanny pack?
