How do you store/ show your rossettes? The pin board just isnt working

Short and sweet

I have few rosettes in my adulthood so I simply pop them onto the edges of professional framed piccies I have. Obviously when Paddy wins a whole host of rosettes this summer I shall have to think of a new way of storage

As a kid I had them blue tacked over walls and on insides of wardrobes but not sure thats a very crafty idea. What about framing your fave ones in those glass boox style frames you can get from habitat?

On the dividing wall between the living room and kitchen inbetween my comp piccis (bridle pins removed and stuck up with bluetack)

 

[ForeverBroke_]

I've not got any dividing walls etc so can't do that

was considering somehow putting picture hooks in the wall and attatching some ribbon or something to it and hanging them off there, but that takes effort

And might look a bit bleh.

Blu-tacked to the wall in the hallway (and craftily covering a minor crack in the plaster that I can't be bothered to repair and re-paint!)

Mine are hooked on a string of fairy lights in my living room. Very pretty!

 

[angandstar]

small hole chicken wire can hook lots on

 

[TinselRider]

I'm LOVING the idea of them hooked on fairy lights

 

[ForeverBroke_]

Tehe! I have a bit of a weird phobia of fairy lights since they fell down every night in my old house and made me jump at insane hours of the night

carrier bag in mums loft! Maybe not the answer you were looking for!

Get a length of small chain from an ironmongers and hang on wall - then thread rossettes through the links until full.

oooh good idea SU, thankeeeee!

Chucked in the back of the lorry, and err up in the attic

I saw a really nice display of rosettes the other day, in an extremely large picture frame they had kind of made a collage out of them, it was really effective.

FIL has just made daughter a large frame which hangs from a nail on the wall in her bedroom, it has 4 or 5 cross spars of dowelling set in to the frame about 3 inches apart, and she hooks the rosettes over the dowelling. Looks great, she just needs a few more rosettes..

Pea netting (or similar) on a wall, or garden trellis, net curtains are excellent for hanging hooked ones on to as well.

Pin boards don't work so well nowadays, because most rosettes come with hooks and they have to be flattened to be able to pin a rosette decently. Anyway, you can't get many on a board.

When I was making large numbers of rosettes and had to store them before shipping, I hooked them on ribbons so that I had, sometimes, hundreds of rosettes dangling from my ceilings.

If you loop plaiting bands in a "chain" you can danglr it from a hook or strtch between 2 hooks & hook on the rosettes. Has the advantahe that you can make the length for the rosettes you have & make it longer as you win more. Also very cheap!

 

[DW Team]

Hairycob wow that is a great idea just off to find the plaiting bands thanks

 

[Tnavas]

I attach one to the top of the wall with a drawing pin and then use a sewing pin and attach the next one to it.

 

[black_n_white]

OMG Tnavas I've never seen so many rosettes!!!

I don't have such an extensive collection

The 4 that I do have are hooked onto the top of my bedroom curtains (not very crafty or creative at all!).
