Journal Pin Backing FAQ: Answers to Common Pin Placement Questions

How the Journal Pin Backing works

What is the Journal Pin Backing?

It's a specially designed brooch-style pin that works with any charm from the Shop ARL x S-kin Studio collection. It turns your journal into a canvas for personalization.

How do I attach a charm to the pin backing?

Pick a charm, clip the charm's carabiner onto the pin's loop, then pin the backing to your Quilted Traveler's Journal Sleeve. The carabiner should click shut.

Can I use the pin backing without a journal sleeve?

The supplied instructions specifically mention pinning it to the Quilted Traveler's Journal Sleeve. The catalog does not confirm use on other surfaces, so test carefully if you try it elsewhere.

Charms and compatibility

Which charms fit the Journal Pin Backing?

Any charm from the Shop ARL x S-kin Studio collection works, as each charm comes with a carabiner that hooks onto the pin's loop.

Can I attach more than one charm to a single pin backing?

The instructions describe clipping one charm's carabiner on, but they also encourage mixing and matching charms. The catalog does not specify a maximum number, so use your judgment and avoid overloading the pin.

Do I need the pin backing to use the charms?

No. You can use the charms without the backing by hooking the carabiners onto elastic closures, such as those on a journal or planner.
