Displaying your pins
on: April 09, 2019, 10:07:35 PM
I know some of us like our pins from some manufactures, some you wear to show your support, but what do you do with those other ones, are they just laying around, or do you just throw them in a box?

    Well, while talking with Wspeed, an idea just popped in my head and said I gotta try it, I’m sure there’s something out there, I’d like to get one of those fancy Velcro sheets that you can hang on the wall and put all your patches on, that would be nice, but here’s what I did, the things you’ll need,

1, a frame,
2, a piece of cardboard, and
3, a piece of felt, and that’s it,

But kinda very simple, just take out the glass, cut a piece of cardboard to size, put the felt over the cardboard, then close in the back, then you got a fancy little setup to display your pins!
Here’s a few pics,,

I have three. A MTO one which is fastened to a gilet, a Help for Heroes one that's on the collar of my waxed jacket, and a 30th Anniversary Leatherman one, which isn't doing anything at the moment.

Not the best pics but I haven’t got much light at the moment

I did something similar back in 2008. I bought one of those small shadow boxes and populated it with some pins I didn't want to lose. Here is an old re-post...

Very cool display of pins  :salute:.  I have one LM pin that I have no clue how or if I want to display.  I think if I had a few I'd probably be more motivated to show them off.  Might be time to look for some pin  :whistle:

Well as you can see I don’t have many, I think I have a sak on my bag, but I do have a few others on my hat, which I might be hanging up shortly.. I just fig it would be cute to make something to display what I did have, yet if I get one of those patch displays to hang next to my workstation then this was pointless..

I think it would look better having the pins separate from the patches JR

I just think the patches will make the pins something to be overlooked
Especially if the patches are a lot bigger then the pins
I would hang one of your frames you made on the wall
As well as the patch display  :tu:

Or when you get that absolutely must have pin or patch you can put it on that and stand it wherever, take it with you, or even put on the side of your bed, lol..
