I whipped up this cute shawl pin holder to nicely display my shawl pins in an empty space I had! It was a super quick knit with some leftover yarn I had sitting around. I stapled it to the back of some foam board and slid it into the space and it fits perfectly.

Do you have some beautiful shawl pins laying around that you would like to display but aren’t sure how? Well here is a quick and easy idea with great results! All you need is some neutral colored yarn, thicker yarn knits faster but you can use any weight, and a pair of knitting needles along with some foam backing board and a standard stapler. In my case I used some bulky weight cream colored superwash merino that I had left over from another project and a pair of size US 7 circular needles. I wanted to fill in a space on a display shelf that I have but if you don’t have a space in mind you can use a picture frame and hang it up as a decorative display! First measure and cut your foam board to size. I recommend cutting it about 1/4” smaller than the actual size you need otherwise it might be to big to fit with the knitting on it. Cast on with enough stitches to cover the area of the foam board and leave enough knitting to be wrapped around all of the sides. Once you are finished knitting bind off, wash and gently block your work. Once dry take your work and carefully wrap it around one side of your foam board securing it with staples on the back of the board. Continue to work your way down the foam board, pulling gently, until all of the knitting has been secured in place. Then tuck and staple the corners. Now you are ready to put your foam board into its display or picture frame and pin your shawl pins in! I hope you have enjoyed this simple and fun project and would love to see what you create with it!
