how do you display your pins and patches?

Here's a place to talk about Funko's clothing, books and bookmarks, homeware, electronics, and the like.

I used to display them on lanyards, backpacks or jackets, but I think I have lost some. I wouldn't mind doing a frame display case style. Wenhol8710 has a nice display case going on there.

Love that display case you have going on there. Nice imagination. I would have done a horrible job of thinking something up.

I recently started displaying my favorite ones in a picture frame. I placed a thin cork-material sheet as the backing, happy how it turned out!

I saw some people put their Marvel Collector's Corp stuff in a shadowbox. I did the same with my Legion of Collectors. After I completed the 2nd they announced no more DC boxes. :(

Everyone's displays looks so awesome!

My wife has all our smugglers bounty patches and pins on a denim vest, and I'm currently working a shadow box with the marvel and Disney box patches/pins.

On my vest,
The ones I don't like or don't fit my likes I either get them in the hands of someone who does or they just sit in a bag on a shelf.
Life is full of questions isn't it? Though, naturally I prefer to think of them as Riddles.

If an IYO SKY funko/proto shows hit me up ASAP!

I bought my corkboard from walmart for around $6, transferred my pins over from half a board I was sharing with my bf, and it made my pin collection look small. I categorized it in sections starting from opposite corners of the board so it looks incoherent right now but once I fill it up, I'll probably work on a second board. If I need to display pins on my denim jacket when I go out, it makes it easier to find my pins and pluck them off.
FYI, Daiso sells corkboards too in a few different sizes all for under $5 each

I currently wear most of my pins proudly on my backpack straps, but I have no clue how to use the patches. Still cool to display somehow.

Thanks!


What I have done with pins that I wanted to frame before is buy a small shadowbox frame from a store like Michaels and then get a thin piece of foam that will fit into the frame and attach pins to it. It works pretty well. The shadowboxes are usually around 8 X 6 in size, so they fit fairly easily into wall space.
