How to Display Sports Ribbons in the Home

Every mother is looking for ways to showcase her children's accomplishments in the home.

Instructions

    • 1

      Display the ribbons in shadow boxes. These three-dimensional cases come in all shapes and sizes with a variety of colors from which to choose when it comes to frame color. They easily hang on the wall to accent and coordinate other framed photos you already have.

      Stuff the ribbons into different sized mason jars. This technique works best if you are interested in displaying the color, but are no longer interested in boasting about the award if, for example, your children have finally moved out of the house. Mix and match the colors of the ribbons in the jars to create colorful mantle or coffee table accent pieces.

      Sew the ribbons into a quilt. Use the unique shape of the ribbon with the diagonal cuts at the bottom to create a unique tessellation pattern, and sew these pieces into your cloth. Use the quilt for its original intended purpose of warmth, or hang the quilt on an empty wall in your house as a tapestry of achievement.

      Hang the ribbons on your Christmas tree to create colorful, homemade decorations.

      Pin the ribbons to your family's cork board or display board which is often found in high traffic areas of the house like the kitchen. Placing the ribbons on this board, which most families use to house schedules and other organizational details, reminds everyone in the home of the achievement when they see the award ribbons each time you walk past.
