What do you do with your rosettes? Like do you display them somewhere? If so how?

I had a piece of string going along one wall at home which i used to hang most of them off but i had to take them down to have the room redecorated and was looking for another way to display them.

Anyone got any pictures of there rosettes displayed aswell?
 
I have mine hung on pieces of string which i have attached to the edge of shelves in my bedroom.
I do have a picture but it is on my home computer and i am currently at work, will put pic on later if i remember.

ETS: I only have a few as last summer was the first time i went to shows
 
Ive got a life time of rosettes in a box, dating as far back as the seventies (

mine are on my bedroom wall hanging from a long shoelace

Only started competing at my local Rc shows in June last year and I've got 17 and 3 trophies!! yay!

Some of mine are on the hangy-downy bit above the curtains in my bedroom (that's your technical term, that is!), then others are on string on shelves. Not sure what I'll do once the final shelf is full but will figure it out!
 
all mine are in a box in the top of my wardrobe... i keep each one out on display in the kitchen for a couple of weeks and then i move them.
i used to display them for ages but they started to fade so i often hide them away to keep them from loosing their colour!
My current annual ones are displayed on my bedroom windowsill along with the trophies.

Not got any amazing ideas myself...
but i have known people who have put a sort of mesh over one wall of their room.. (and hung the rosettes on an entire wall.. they did show lots of welsh cobs inhand at high level and had enough to make a really impressive display!


or you could do this and then display the photo!

I did have a large wooden frame with a metal mesh over it. I could only fit so many on it so i had a draw full of all the others. I didnt want to keep them anywere that they might get damaged and faded. Would have loved to put them in the horsebox but it has on living so it was a bit difficult.

When my mare was pts i packed up all the rossetts and filled a large plastic box with them, didnt realise there was so many.
 
I have a bit of board thats on my wall in my bedroom (its painted the same colour as my wall) I take the hooks out the back and staple them to it.
 
I hang them on random things in my room - the corners of my square mirror for example. Then when I get a new one I replace one of the older ones and put it into my box. That way I get to see what I've achieved recently

I give mine to the local RDA, they use them to give to clients after their lessons for achievement- really brightens up their day! and much better than them lying around getting dusty, and they are not fussed on colour!!

I'm pleased to say I had so many that anything lower than a third I gave to the cubs to make mothers day presents. I still have a draw full collected after that. All my firsts/seconds are in another draw and the huge ones are hanging on photos.
 
as i don't have many they are on a string in our spare bedroom. if i ever get to the stage where i have too many i would only keep the 1st place ones.
