    I put all my pins on a spare T-shirt and hang it on the wall. Cheap and cheerful and quite the talking point in the house :P

    Our Anime society had a pokemon online tournament some time back and for the prize we commissioned an artist to create the 8 kanto badges along with a case to hold all of them. They weren't cheap but they looked perfect and much better than those Etsy ones. I'm sure if you were interested I could put you, or anyone else in touch with her, but know it'll likely cost 80+ euro.

    Well, I saw these on Etsy too. Also the Unova badges, and I'll assume the ones that the OP got are the same size.

    The display case looks like a simple watch or fancy pen case. Surely you could find one of them lying around.
    Or even a plain pencil tin, I think they still make those. Bit of cardboard in there, maybe a printout glued on top, boom.

    Any pics of these?
    Properly made metal badges is something I've kind of wanted for years. I've just never found any worth paying for.

    If you want to do it yourself, you could use metal clay. There's a bit of a learning curve, but if you've got any experience with sculpting at all, should be no problem.

    Hmm, it's food for thought but sculpting was my weakest point in art. :o

    I've always liked the idea of getting a jeweller to make some cuff links but that'd probably cost an absolute bomb. Hahaha

    Edit: NOM!

    If I was any good at stuff like sculpting with metal clay, first thing I'd make is an Imperial Aquila pendant from Warhammer 40k >_>
