Trophies and Medals

What is a parent to do?

Sports medals and trophies are a parental pride hazard.

Alas in there lies the challenge!

• Display Family Trophy  & Ribbon Awards stylishly.
• Track Sports Success with a Hall of Fame
• Use clever visual tricks like a favored flag painted on the wall.

One way to display trophies

There are many ways to hang these treasures.  For a humorous & decorative slant check out Marni Jameson’s Award Winning Displays and read my tip about hanging ribbon medals on hooks. Spell out the sport, your child’s name, or even a phrase – “Amazing Swimmer”.

My daughter racked up a couple of medals and ribbons in her upward school trek, & they hang in pride of place in her room, so I can definitely relate to the importance of being medalled.

Create a family sport’s crest on the wall illustrating sports logos; colors & family traits with hooks could be a feature in any room.

A wall of hooks and Sport plaques will create visual memories, your family will enjoy.

Enhance the background with Tartan wallpaper, stripes or flags

Consider a glass display cabinet for the hallway landing or in a passage to add color and interest.

Or how about dressing up a small bathroom in ribbons & medals?

Want to add to your Trophies? Visit a Trophy shop to create a personal custom plaque or cup for  “Best Family Participation” or “Amazing snack Maker”.
