#1: Pin Them On Your Hat
Attaching pins to hats has been a common way to display them for decades. Your pride pins can be easily worn to events, or simply out shopping, once you attach them to your favorite hat.
A quick note: pins attached best to hats with slightly thicker material, such as hats made with denim or leather. You should also look for locking pin backs when you wear your pins, as this makes it harder for the pin to fall off.
#2: Create A Pin Bag
Pin bags can be both practical and stylish. And as with hats, you can wear them to pride events or carry them around with you when you’re going on your everyday errands. There are two primary ways to create a pin bag.
One is to simply stick your pins into the material of your bag, although note that this will obviously create holes in the bag material, so don’t do it with a priceless bag that you want to keep pristine.
The second is to look for pin bags that come with foam inserts which you slide into a clear plastic sleeve. This option is best if you want to protect your pins, or you don’t want to ruin the material of the purse itself.
#3: Stick Them On A Pin Board
Pin boards are perfect for displaying in your bedroom, living room or anywhere else where you want to showcase some flair. Nowadays, pin boards come in many different styles and sizes. The most traditional is a square cork board, but you can find pin boards that will suit any aesthetic if you look online. If you’re crafty, you can make a DIY pin board with embroidery hoops and stretchy fabric.
Try experimenting with different patterns or layouts with your pins, as it can be fun to mix and match.
#4: Wear Them Like A Brooch
Who doesn’t love an old fashioned brooch? You can turn your pride pin into a contemporary brooch by wearing it near your collar or the upper part of your chest . You’ll want to get a locking pin back to help reduce the chances of your pin falling off. And as with hats, pins fit better with clothing made with a thicker material, so try not to wear your pin if the fabric is on the thin side.
Don’t be afraid to get creative and think outside the box when it comes to showcasing your favorite pride pins!
