MrsD Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 How does everyone display their ribbons that their dogs have won? Going through the shed the other day I found a box with all the ribbons from my previous dogs & I have washed them all carefully & hung them up to dry & would like to put them back up on the wall with the ones from current dogs, but how do people do it? The old ones were stuck up with blutac the new ones are stuck up with coloured pins (like you use on a cork board) along our picture rail, but Im not sure I like them like that (hanging down rather than across) & I dont like the coloured pins sticking out everywhere . Does anyone else have different ways that they display theirs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jesomil Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 I have bought a big cork board that i pin them onto. They dont all fit but i just put up the best ones and the rest are under the bed in a plastic bag. I used to have some blue tacked around the dog room but they started falling down after a while so i find the board easier to keep them on.

poodlefan Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Mrs D some of my friends have bought these really natty ribbon hangers - I think they are advertised in the Canine Journal. In my house, the most recent ribbon is displayed on the fridge - the best of the rest hang on a pinboard in the study. I'm thinking about a ribbon hanger though.

MrsD Posted September 21, 2006 Author Share Posted September 21, 2006 (edited) Thanx guys . Jesomil, I will most definitely be putting any I keep in storage in a plastic bag next time, I was shocked at how filthy they had got just sitting in a box . PF, were they advertised in the NSW journal? I dont get that anymore, but I will keep an eye out in the CCCQ Dog World in case they advertise them as well. Since neither my old dog or bitch are with us anymore :D what I thought I might do is perhaps put a photo of them up in the hallway (I have a couple that I had blown up years ago that would be nice) & display their respective ribbons with the photo. That's how I had them when they were alive & I had them on display in my old house. Then I would put Jonty's & Ebony's just along a bit further. ETA - where's my rock, thats a nice idea too - much better than just a coathanger or similar which is sometimes used .

Tilly Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 I have seen them sewn on fabric and made into a wall hanging. You could make one with a sheet of material, a piece of timber threaded through top and bottom (or something like a curtain rod) and then sew or pin the ribbon on the fabric.

wheres my rock Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 i had a bedspread of my horsey ribbons when i was a teen ager it was cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsD Posted September 21, 2006 Author Share Posted September 21, 2006 Ummmmm I've got a few - but not quite that many :D . Although thats a good point where's my rock, I havent come across my horsey ones yet, I hope they havent been lost . Boxagirl, I have an old pic somewhere of some of my old dogs ribbons & trophies, I'll see if I can drag it out & scan it. The new dogs are a disappointment so far in comparison but give them time .

kelpiechick Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 I made cushions out of my smaller qualifying ribbons. To display the sashes, I bought some bookshelves from Ikea, removed all but the centre shelf, glued cork tiles onto the back and then pinned them on (horizontally, not hanging down) I added glass doors to the shelf (Ikea's great for add ons!) so they don't get dusty. I use the centre shelf for photos and trophies. I have also seen sashes put under glass on the top of a coffee table - that looked pretty cool!

JAG Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 All of mine hang on a coat hanger in the wardrobe with a plastic bag over them. Keeps them nice and straight and the dust off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Clover Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 I need to go through all mine (Well the dogs) and sort them out. I used to blu tack them to the wall, but they kept falling down. Not sure what i will do with them all yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsD Posted September 22, 2006 Author Share Posted September 22, 2006 kelpiechick - that sounds alot like how I used to display my smaller ones with all my trophies on my pine hutch, but I put the larger sashes up on the wall, I will dig the pic out & scan it. JAG - that dust is a killer TrustUs - why should we trust you or her? :rofl: I dont remember mine falling down alot with blutack, just thought there might have been a better way. I LOVE that ribbon holder that PF posted the URL for, very very compact , but I do like the lovely big sashes when they are put up across-wise rather than hanging down - they look so nice that way .

KitKat Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 I've got Sabre's ribbons stuck to the shelves of my bookcase...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shekhina Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 I like the idea of making a wall hanging! Unfortunately I don't think Daegon will be winning any pretty ribbons in his lifetime Kovu would certainly have done extremely well in the show ring but that never happened.

rastus_froggy Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 At the moment they hang on the fridge but I have a large picture frame that i intend putting the ribbons and some pics into (we are new to this whole ribbon winning thing so we only have 2 ribbons and a rosette - but they are all 1sts!!!) I must say it really has been worth the wait for them though - as we either come 1st or are eliminated, there seems to be no in between with my little girl.
