Displaying rosettes and sashes.

[itsme123]

as some of you know, my daughter won her first 'first' and sash this weekend, and is very proud of them!

The children have now built up a collection of rosettes, some with sentimental value which I want to keep safe and protected whilst being on display. ATM they're on a cork board in the kitchen which i imagine willl make them go discoloured sooner rather than later.

Has anyone any ideas on how to display them? Especially the sash? I've looked at box frames but a) they don't come big enough and b) are pricey

Deleted - sorry completed missed the part about them being on a cork board and worried about discoloring!! String and nails would make no difference!

What about a clip frame? We have ours pinned to the back of a door.

My rosettes are hung on a piece of ribbon that runs across the walls in my bedroom, many of which are about 10 years old and havent discoloured yet.

I've seen rosettes tied to pieces of garden trelis (looked tatty IMO), but years ago I saw loads attached to peg board. Because of the holes in it you can either tie them in place, or push the metal clip through the hole (or pull it out). Once the peg board was full, perspex was put over it, and the edges bound (probably with black tape, but you could use something nicer!). I reckon the boards were about four foot by 1 foot, and hung portrait format. They looked great, without being covered in dust and cobwebs!

We display our sashes on a magnetic board which means they don't have to have holes in them and they can be flat.

Always display mine on a string on the kitchen wall and know people who hang them in their tackrooms never had a problem with them fading.

i pin mine to the lorry walls and have had no problem with fading at all
