Ribbons

Recommended Posts

Just looking for some ideas on what everyone who competes does with their ribbons. There was a discussion on the agility list years ago about it & some good ideas, but I can't access it anymore.

Mine are all in shoeboxes :D , except the current ones :) , but I'd like to put them all together in some way.

Anyone got any pics of their displays?

In my horse eventing/dressage competition days, there were people I know of who sewed all the ribbons together and made a throw over show rug out of them. I could never be bothered - very time consuming. But would be easier for dogs?

Mine are all rolled up in a box!

I have way too many to put them all up, but I do intend to string a light cord accross a bare wall one day and clip all the best ones to it...

My other thought was to lie them all out somewhere and take a photo of them. Then enlarge and frame the photo and hang that up instead!

Thats what i have done. I took a photo of the dogs with all the ribbons won for that particular title and framed it with the title certificate.

The ribbons are just packed in a shoe box and sometimes my kids play with them.

I've thought about the sewing idea, except they're often different sizes.

I like the taking a photo & framing it idea though :rolleyes:

That doesn't matter .... makes for a patchwork quilt type design.

Photo and framing idea is nice, but you're still left with all that material, wasting away in a box somewhere .... (as mine are from my horse eventing days - *sigh*)

We currently have a wall with all our ribbons on.. Eddy set one up but it is now full.

With the horse ribbons, the placings get thrown out or returned to the society. I keep the champs, Reservs and Royal placings.

Doggie ones, I tend to take the voucher if offered instead of a ribbon. If not they go into a big box.

I have bags of ribbons. Nowadays I take the most meaningful ribbons, and vouchers instead where possible.

A wall of ribbons looks good but takes up a lot of space!

I know someone who has a wall of ribbons etc. and among the ribbons are enlargements of her dogs. It looks really good.

I only keep the best ones. The others I give back to the show, or don't collect. The ones I do have are pinned in a spare room (this is also the whelping room). When I was showing horses (gee alot of people move from horses to dogs) a friend use to sew them together for her daughter and made a throw rug and curtains out the the ribbons...

I do like the photo idea though!

The one's i dont use as dusters (The felt ones) get hung up on the wall, i must do something with them one day, maybe only the blue ones though :mad.

Framing them with photos is also a great idea :rolleyes:.

My horse ribbons/sashes are hanging over the curtain rail in the living room (impresses visitors :rolleyes: ).

Caber's place ribbons are clipped onto a bulldog clip which is hung on a nail and the ribbons hang down between a picture of Timothy & Spike. His rosettes are on the same wall. And his sashes are strung up on a string which is held between 2 nails. All these are on the wall behind my computer.

Other dog/pet ribbons (from obedience, comminuty festival comps, rat shows etc) are randomly about the house.

I planned on the sewing thing with my previous boy's ribbons as a retirement project. I've been (semi) retired 3 years nearly, and they're still in the drawer.

Could be because I'm spending time trying to add to the collection with the cureent 2 puppers!:rolleyes:

I thought of framing the best few (high in trial). Haven't done that yet either.
