I outlined in a previous post how I used old farm windows to display 8X10’s. It turned out perfect. The last thing my daughter asked for was a shadow box of some kind to display her varsity letters, patches, medals, etc. There were quite a lot and I checked prices of a large shadow box and found it so expensive! I then remembered I had one extra old window - smaller than the others so I couldn’t use it for pictures but still large enough to hold the items she was looking to display. I started out laying it all out in a beautiful messy old school collage. She deemed that WAY too messy and removed half of what I had overlapping on the board and laid it all out flat - in mostly straight lines.
Next task was attaching the items. For this one I didn’t attach to the back like I did with the pictures. The newspapers and pictures were of course easy, for the medals and patches I tried various things and ended up having the best luck with blue tacky “gum”. Using that I was able to hang all the items to the board and then just hung the medals with the ribbons on them over the corners.
That is the one window I didn’t take back apart after the party was over because it turned out so cool. Hoping to find a place in the family room to possibly hang it? If not then I guess it will just go into storage as is for now - because it is way too cool to take apart.
