One of my children has accumulated quite a number of awards. She has approximately 15 ribbons with a medal attached - the type that are worn as a necklace- and one smallish trophy.
What can I do with these awards to both store and display them?
I just bought one of these - Running Tabletop Medal Displays – Gone For a Run
If you google “medal display” or “medal hanger” you should end up with plenty of ideas. My wife and I have a metal medal hanger that has our marathon and half-marathon medals on it. If you’re handy you could probably make one out of wood.
Alternatively, you could hang a decorative curtain rod on the wall and string the medals on. Something like these should be available in different lengths and in wood or metal in different designs. Just look for one where it’s easy to release the rodto put more medals on.
You could add a small shelf above for trophies and similar.
Thank you Telemark. Many of those are quite nice and not running related. Her awards are for acedemic decathalon (16 so far!), and I was having trouble finding some not marked with athletic stuff, but that site has some nice ones. The prices seem reasonable, too.
And thank you, Green Bean. That’s a great idea. I bet I could find something really nice (that maybe wouldn’t be so expensive) in the curtain rod area.
I tried Google, SmellMyWort, but I guess my google-fu was bad because I was just finding really expensive running-motif stuff.
