DIY Medal Frame

1

I originally had my medals put away in a drawer and thought about how to display them. I didn’t want to spend lots of $$ on a frame that I knew I could make myself. So I put my creative mind to work.

First, I went and purchased a shadowbox frame from Target. The one I got was 12X12. Then, I went to the craft store and got some black foam board. I measured and cut, then I sliced openings where I wanted the medals to hang.

After a little bit of fiddling trying to get the lanyards through the slits, I had a nice way to display my medals.

Total Cost: $23. Not too bad, and I still have room for another medal.

This morning I made some oat bran which included a banana, fiber one cereal, PB2, and some cinnamon.

I didn’t add as much water as I usually do so it was extra thick and creamy! Now, back to work :)

    Love the medal frame and man those are some huge medals. I’m especially jealous of your Baltimore one. Mine was so teeny tiny.
