Custom trap display [CLOSED]

Has anyone on here made a custom display/storage for their traps? I only plan on getting one of each element, so the boxes that are meant to hold all the traps are kind of overkill. Finally got a Kaos trap over the weekend so I consider my trap collection done and I'm ready to make something for holding them. I was planning on maybe carving holes into and painting a strip of Styrofoam.

Was trying to look around for ideas but can't really find anything, so I was wondering if anyone on here had made something they wanted to show off.

I have some ideas, but not a lot of motivation. I wanted to make some sort of wall display

Drill holes into a thin piece of wood with a forstner bit slightly smaller than the collar of the trap. Put upholstery foam under the wood and cut a clean slit for each trap with a breakaway utility blade extended out. With the right size cuts, that should hold the traps nicely in any design.

Holds 9 traps as the light/dark things was not well known back then, but I presume the person who sells these on EBay either makes 11 trap versions by now or could be asked to.

EBay sellers id is one_mad_fish

Tell them that chaosworrier_oz sent you and you will get a buy-one-get-another-for-full-price deal - grin! Jokes aside, I have no affiliation with this person, I merely bought some holders off them and they *do* ship o/seas, if requested.

Thanks for the suggestions. Chaosworrier, those are really nice. If I can't come up with something on my own I'll definitely have to look into those.

I love these things. I have one. Takes up much less space than those cheap cardboard trap trays.

Im looking for idea's as well. Especially with the special traps. Has anyone collected the topps cards? Each pack comes with a trap holder and someone has to have ideas to display them with the holders etc.

Well after tossing around a few ideas, I went ahead and made a mini box for them. And by made, I mean picked out a pre-made wood box from the craft store and painted it.

Not super customy but I decided the big Trap Box I got at TRU would look better lit from underneath. So a few white LEDs and some soldering later. GLOW!!

The two of us literally have all the same traps. You have the Kaos and the Dark trap but I plan to get those soon enough. I just found it kinda cool how we have literally the same traps
