You can see each pin is a memory, a spark of color with a story behind it.

Hung together on a woven tapestry, they become a chorus with voices from concerts, movements, travels, and childhood days.

The threads of the wall hanging cradle them like keepsakes woven into time itself.

Every time you walk by, your eyes catch a different one, and it feels like opening a book of memories you’ve written yourself.

Materials Needed

• 1 woven wall hanging or tapestry (medium size works best)
• Collection of pins, brooches, or badges
• Wooden dowel or natural branch
• Strong wall hook or nail
• Optional: fabric backing

Step-by-step Guide

Step 1: Choose a woven wall hanging or tapestry with a tight enough weave to hold pins securely.

Step 2: Hang the tapestry on a wooden dowel or branch for a rustic touch. Make sure it’s placed at eye level so you can admire the details.

Step 3: Start pinning your badges onto the fabric. Arrange them by color, theme, or memory or go completely random for a playful look.

Step 4: Step back and check the balance. Then adjust so the weight is evenly spread across the fabric.

Step 5: If your collection grows, simply add more pins over time. The display will evolve with your adventures.

Step 6: Place it in a spot where you’ll see it often by a door, in a hallway, or above your desk so it can remind you daily of the little joys you’ve collected.

Tips:

If your wall hanging feels too soft, sew a piece of felt or canvas behind it for extra strength. This way, you can add more pins without sagging.
