As I finished my second, third, fourth events, I found myself with some really cool race bibs! So I tacked them up by my desk. Then added another. And another. And suddenly, I was out of space!
Now I have twice as many race bibs, and several well-earned medals, and nowhere to put them! My husband vetoed the "tape them to the wall" approach - and I'm okay with that, it looks a little messy. Purchasing a display is always an option but they're so 'spensive! I think I'm going to have to shut myself up in my craft room and concoct a solution... Who has ideas for me?! How do YOU display your race bibs and bling?
I have a medal display from Allied Medal Displays and the bf made me a bib holder. You can read about how he made it here http://www.theeverydaywarrior.com/2013/04/04/how-to-display-race-memorabilia/
ReplyDeleteThat looks amazing! I love the shadowbox idea, thank you for sharing!
Deletei went the semi-expensive route and got a combination bib/medal holder from www.runningonthewall.com. they seem easy to make, but i am terrified of tools and crafting.
ReplyDeleteAh that's a site I haven't seen yet! I'll have to check it out!
DeleteIf I wasn't a longtime crafter with a room full of the perfect tools, I wouldn't even try. But I'm actually almost done with my first attempt, so check back in a day or two and see how it comes out!
I have a medal rack, but in the process of moving, it's sitting in a box. I always kept my bibs but never displayed them. I've thought about just getting some kind of album to keep the bibs as a flipbook or something, and maybe hang my medals again. Somewhere. Our apartment is small.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I like the flipbook ideas, like the BibFolios at http://www.goneforarun.com/ but they're so pricey! I'm working on an idea to make my own version of the BibFolio, if I manage to make it work, I'll make you one!
