Hey Everyone,I was just wondering if any of you have come up with a cheap DIY pin box cushion? I have seen the ones in the web for about $50 and I made my own out of a Tupperware bin, but I'm curious what you guys have come up with out there? I like to keep the pin covered because it's right at kid scalp height!

Just run into it once and you will always remember to duck no need for something fancy. How do I know, that was 7 years ago.

Put something on the pinbox that encourages one to walk around it.

Part of the setup routine is to drop the flag in the pinbox flag holder.

As far as around the pin box is concerned we have used foam pipe insulation or swim noodles. As far as the pin itself is concerned a good foam beverage holder works well.
