                         framing pins does anyone ever frame their pins? that seems to be my newest hobby. it's kinda cool that i can combine two of my hobbies, scrapbooking and pin collecting. i use a lot of my scrapbook tools and supplies. it is a really nice way to display my faves. any suggestions on other ways to display them?

                         Re: framing pins I would love to do this but trying to figure out how to show off my Civil Wars stuff my brother & I found on our farm that we grew up on. Neat stuff we found.

                         Re: framing pins A shadow box is sort of a 3-dimensional way of framing pins, medals, & other not flat artwork.

                         Re: framing pins thanks everyone for the compliments! it doesn't matter if you 6 or 600 pins display them however you want . you can always add more pins and more frames later. hobby stores usually have a great selection of frames and shadow boxes. and if you look in the paper you can usually find a coupon for 40-50% off.
