Without a glass front to the frame, this display is as quick and simple as it gets. A kid could probably make this display , intended to resemble a hide rack, almost independently. I actually have one of these in progress shh! A shadow box is plenty roomy enough to display patches, even if you insert an extra padded backing so that you can easily pin your patches for display.
Look for stainless steel pins, as thin as you can find. If you like to sew but still want to keep your display simple, this might be the easiest option: a simple canvas tote bag! Sew each patch on by machine or by hand and move on with your life! This DIY Velcro display frame uses a special display fabric, but you know what? Regular old felt also works with Velcro! This vest is the same concept as the backpack, above, and is also meant to be worn to show off your patches.
I made a vest for each of my kids to display their Junior Ranger badges and patches. I'm a writer, crafter, Zombie Preparedness Planner, and homeschooling momma of two kids who will hopefully someday transition into using their genius for good, not the evil machinations and mess-making in which they currently indulge. I'm interested in recycling and nature crafts, food security, STEM education, and the DIY lifestyle, however it's manifested--making myself some underwear out of T-shirts?
Stephy that sounds amazing— I would love to see a photo of the blanket if you have one! Great idea to collect these… Great souvenirs. Wherever I travel, especially on cruise shore excursions, I make a point of trying to buy lapel pins or magnets.
Why these items? But I usually make an exception or two : For example, I wanted to take home a sample of the wonderful blue Izmir ceramic ware from Turkey, which I visited last year on a Eastern Med cruise.
I found a nice mug in a touristy shop in Kusadasi. I also bought a evil eye—is that what the symbol called? Besides, I have a quite of few bags in my closet—weird for a straight guy like me!
I put them on lanyards and in display bags, usually organizing them around themes: shows, Disney, Olympics, etc. Some of the lanyards end up being so heavy that I usually hang them around my door knob instead of wearing them. I hoped to have done just that on my recent trip to WDW and Universal Studios, where I bought a few Disney and Harry Potter-related pins, each of which ended up on their respective lanyards, which I also bought.
And yeah, those things are so heavy that I hung them on the aforementioned doorknob! Interesting— these used to be one of the main souvenirs you could buy, now I think people are moving away from what are considered more traditional souvenirs? Question: How did Mr. Daugherty get all those badges affixed to his messenger bag? Did he have them sewn on or ironed on?
Are the badges glued to the bag? Anyhoo, I prefer taking the risk of getting pricked by the pins on the rear of lapel pins. Great idea for a post guys. Well keep saving a few things on your travels David.. A good idea from our friend Cheryl is to write the date on the back of fridge magnets just so you remember when you went — Thanks Cheryl.
I am a magnet collecting type a girl, but you guys gave me some great ideas. Passport stamps hanging on the wall is what I like most, if I only had any in my passport ha! Been travelling in Europe and with an european passport, I have not been able to collect not one stamp from travels there! I do have one from entering Australia, however, and I might get some more when I go to Indonesia and Bali next year.
The weirdest one would be Christmas ornaments haha. Why and where would you even find them during the time when Christmas is not in season? This is such a cute post! Love these ideas! The Money collage is super fun and I love the coke cans from around the world.
I think this post is so creative. Love these ideas and am going to start a few! I too collect fridge magnets and frame mostly scenery pictures. I use to collect coffee mugs but that got to be a bit much. Sometimes I will buy a cook book. I do have my original passport from when I was three years old! Happy and safe travels you two!!
