I have a few enamel pins and several in various wishlists but I don't really have anything to put them on so they're just in storage for now. I have a couple of cheap handbags in my eBay favourites that I might buy just so I have somewhere to display them. The two handbags I rotate between are both good quality leather and I don't want pinholes on them. I had these two larger Mickey pins and then Brynn sent me the smaller one which worked out perfectly. My others are Fry's lucky 7-leaf clover, the bottle cap pin from Up (a gift from my husband), and one of the door knockers from Labyrinth (my sister has the other half of the pair)

I have a whole pinboard full of pins. When I have some time to take pictures I'll post them. Some of them are really cool so I want to make sure you can see the detail on them.

I love the labyrinth pin, theyre so derpy and yeah i know what you mean about bags, im always reluctant if i wanna wear them on a coat or something. I have a shirt i wore a pin on once and now theres a lil hole i cant get rid of :/ I have a whole pinboard full of pins. I look foward to seeing them! I need to get myself a board or something, mine are all in a tin atm which works but i wanna display them Also! Comic con pins, excuse the editing i couldnt find any good lighting or anything so had to make do: Super happy! Only issue is i think the top rows are rip offs of other artists, didnt even think about at the time but they where on stalls with shed loads of pins and they have no credit ect, so thats a shame :/ if anyone knows the original artists of them let me know so i can buy the proper ones ^-^

This isn't all of them and I only did closeups of the ones I really love. But enjoy! Warning though, some people might find one or two offensive. Pin collection
Credit for most of them goes to Demonic Pinfestation. I've also bought from Creepy Company and random Kickstarters and etsy shops.

I don't have a ton of pins despite the number I have on my wishlist. I can't really wear them to work, so the number I have allowed myself is so of limited. Palmistry hand: No does not mean convince me (I also have this as a sticker on my car): Phillie Phanatic (very important to me): Gin and water ice:

this thread is great, and an incredible coincidence. i just got an ita bag in the mail so i can put all my pins and buttons on it without them falling off and getting lost 5ever
i'll upload pics later today when i finish decorating it! as long as y'all don't mind more buttons rather than enamel pins~

Palmistry hand: So I lost this pin today, whomp whomp. It was inexpensive-ish, so I ordered a replacement. Here's my question, what do any of yall do to ensure your pins don't come undone and lost in the abyss?

You can get locking backs My phone won't let me link you for some reason but Google or search Amazon for "locking pin back no tools needed"

I always use the lil rubbery backs, but the locking ones do seem like a good idea. Also i bought a bunch of the actual pin bits for diys and stuff on ebay a while ago and sometimes if a pin is big enough I'll stick another one on it - that way if one back falls off theres still another holding the pin on ^-^ plus, it stops pins from spinning upside down

i don't get too into pins, but these are the three i've liked enough to put on my leather jacket. the inferno pin is from a little shop on south street where i helped a friend get an underage navel piercing in 1995. the general star is from when i lived in chicago in '97, & the text pin is recent, given to me by one of my employees who'd bought several to share out. it's the only self-referential item i own - i strongly dislike any kind of "I" design, but this one passes muster.

The new pin and locking backs should get to me at the same time.

Newest pin! The seller also included a little Robotology fish sticker which I need to find a spot for.

my ita bag, at long last! most buttons are from places like hot topic. smokey was from a garage sale, ferret was from etsy, gummy bear was a gift, and captain america's shield was from the dollar section at target!
