I just don't know what to do with them. Right now they're sitting in my Shag ETR Goblet collecting dust. I'm not lucky enough to have any tiki-related pins so far, but for my other pins (souvenir enamelled pins, seahorse pins, and---forthcoming when I find a good frame---owl pins), I display them in a picture frame with felt glued or stapled in where the glass/picture would normally go. You just pin the pins onto the felt. I've found dark colors show off the pins best. If I get any tiki pins, I'll use one of the couple fake-bamboo frames (the embossed wood kind) I've picked up from thrift shops. Maybe with a "mat" of grasscloth-type material around the edge instead of solid felt.
