Learn the best ways to show off your FanRoll Rainbow Unicorn hard enamel pin. From choosing the right spot to mounting without damage, this guide covers display tips and care for your glow in the dark collectible.

Quick answer

Mount your Rainbow Unicorn pin on a fabric surface near a light source for best glow visibility, and use a locking pin back to prevent loss.

Why placement matters for glow performance

The glow in the dark effect on your FanRoll pin works best after exposure to bright light. A spot near a window or under a desk lamp during the day will charge the glow pigment, making it visible in low light or darkness. Avoid placing the pin in a drawer or shadowed area where it cannot absorb light.

Hard enamel pins like this one are durable but can scratch if stacked against other metal objects. Give your pin its own space on a fabric surface such as a backpack, jacket lapel, or felt display board.

Choosing the right backing for security

The FanRoll pin comes with a durable rubber backing, which is secure for most everyday wear. However, if you plan to display the pin on a bag or coat that gets jostled often, consider upgrading to a locking pin back or a metal clutch with a rubber stopper. These reduce the chance of the pin falling off and getting lost.

For static displays like corkboards or felt panels, the standard rubber backing works fine. Just press it firmly until it clicks or feels snug.

How to display your Rainbow Unicorn glow pin

Choose a visible, light-accessible spot: Select a location where the pin can receive direct or bright indirect light for at least 30 minutes a day. This charges the glow pigment so it shines in the dark. Common mistake: placing the pin in a shadowed area or inside a bag where it never sees light. The glow will be weak or invisible.
Attach to a fabric surface: Push the pin through a fabric layer such as a denim jacket, canvas backpack, or felt display board. Hard enamel pins are sturdy, but avoid thin or fragile fabrics that may tear. Checkpoint: after pushing through, wiggle the pin slightly to ensure the prongs are fully through the material before adding the back.
Secure with the rubber backing: Press the rubber backing firmly onto the prongs until it is flush against the fabric. Give it a gentle tug to confirm it is locked in place. Common mistake: leaving the backing loose. A loose back can fall off and the pin can be lost. Always double-check the grip.
Test the glow after charging: After the pin has been in light for a while, move to a dim or dark room to see the glow. If it seems faint, leave it under light longer. Checkpoint: the glow duration depends on charge time. For brightest effect, charge for 1–2 hours before showing off.
