I'm getting a nice collection of rossettes from this and last years show season, but at the moment they are just clipped over a piece of string on the wall. I was just wondering how others display theirs?
Ive been looking on the net and there doesnt seem to be many types of rossette holders around, have seen a nice one on ebay but its for rossettes with safety pins on but mine dont just a hook over clip
 
We have an alcove(sp?) in one wall at home so I just put them one on top of the other in there. My friend pins hers to a cork board and covers with a piece of see through palstic sort of stuff and hangs them on the wall. I have too many to display on the walls (yeah right, if only!!)
 
hiya
mine are in the front of the wagon , behind the seats.

there hanging on a big sheet of chicken wire i stapled to the cab.
once the rosettes are on you can't see the wire (although still have some gaps in mine lol )

im sure if you used your imagination with it you could come up with something good as it can easily be cut into different shapes and is really cheep
i found my bit liying around the yard
 
my local garden centre sells square holed wire mesh panels about 1mx2m. Ideal for hooking the rossies into and it just hangs off a nail in the hall :)
 
If it is an "ordinary" one - a clear round or a special or something like that I put those stick on velcro tabs on the back and the matching "dot" on my daughter's bunk bed frame and she sticks them up all over her bed. Once a year just before the outdoor competitons start we clear out the bed and put them all in a clear plastic box so the space is ready for the next lot.

But if it is a special one she is really proud of, or that she worked really hard for, I print out a photo of her (if I have one - but doting dad photographs almost all competitions), laminate it, punch a hole in the bottom corner with a hole punch and thread the rosette through the hole. The whole lot then gets pinned on the "door of fame" between the living room and the kitchen. When we ran out of space they spilled over onto the study door as well. When we are really out of space we take down the oldest and replace them.

Makes a nice show on an otherwise boring door!
 
I have a length of chain that's pinned to the picture rail in my bed room to hang them off :) Theory is I can buy more chain eventually as I gain rosettes to go further round my room! :p Most of my rosettes seem to be 3rd place or lower (only just started getting 2nds and 1sts! :D) but still, they're special to me :) They brighten up the walls too!!
 
i've hung what little i have on the curtain rail in my bedroom just to brighten things up at the moment, only have like 14 but once i get some more think i will have to come up with something a bit more imaginative :P
 
Mine have never come out of the horsebox - mainly in the glove box, pockets at the side of doors, hooked onto the radio which doesn't work etc....
 
Mine are on the picture rail in my bedroom, the landing, and any other available space, I even have some with hooks looped through wicker baskets ontop of my cupboard! :o

Does make my bedroom look somewhat messy!
 
My one rosette which I have. That I didn't really win, Although I like to think I did. Is put above my mirror in my room. Gosh I need to enter some competitions!
 
Erm... I only have 7, most are Specials! Well, two... :o They're all hooked onto a ribbon which a plaited up, and hung on the back of my bedroom door. I also have one for sheep handling (city girls can be farmers too!) where me and William the Whitefaced Woodland sheep won 1st Place!!
 
My big wins are in a large clip frame, i take off the back pins and arrange them in the frame with the photos the whole picture looks really good i have 1 for each year.
I also have lots of other rosettes from local shows from a few years ago and i am donating them to a lady on here that wanted some yesterday for a kids riding school show, better than sitting in a box.
Tropheys are all in the shelf unit.

I had roman blinds like this on my bedroom window, about 4 of these (but lighter and thinner lol)

I litteraly pierced a row of them through each layer of the folds, looked ok :o

:D

Mine used to go on some pea netting in the hallway, now they take up several boxes and a couple of drawers. Haven't got a single rosette on view, this is an extremely unhorsey house.
 
I use the big cork boards too - a separate board for each colour and hang the boards in the stairwell. They make a fabulous block of solid colour, sort of modern-art style, but if you look carefully you see the slight differences in them eg. shade, whether they have additional decoration such as gold spots or stars etc. Any with lettering on the tails goes on the bottom row so that they can be read.
