Where to pin these cute little SWAPS?
During the scouting event, most SWAPs are displayed by pinning to various types of clothing.
HATS – Our preferred method is to display on a hat. Doesn’t matter what type of hat, any will do, however, bucket hats, seem to offer the most amount of space for growing SWAP collections.
BANDANAS – Another method is to simply use the ever classic multi-purpose bandana. Simply pin or tie the bandana to your belt loop on your shorts or jeans and start loading those SWAPS.
LANYARDS – A lot of adults prefer the lanyard around the neck to keep their SWAPs on.
After the event, here are some options for displaying your SWAPs at home.
HATS – Keep the SWAPs on the hats and display on your favorite teddy bear!
RIBBON HANGER – Attach four 2.5 inch wide ribbon strips about 2 feet long to the bottom hanger section. Create a sign out of card stock or fabric to cover the top of the hanger section. Pin your swaps to the ribbons.
BANDANA HANGER – Take the SWAP loaded bandana and simply tie to a hanger and hang on a doorknob. Keep adding bandanas to the same hanger until it is full!
Other ideas include using BULLETIN BOARDS and FOAM WREATHS.
