If you are anything like us, you love to participate in race events! You get that shiny medal when you cross the finish line and then come home and toss it in the drawer. If you are really fancy (like Jen) and you have an awesome husband (like Jen), maybe you have a really cool plaque with hooks to display all of your hardware! However, if you're like me...they just end up in the drawer.
Some of the medals are really neat though, and I want to be able to display them in a neat way. I LOVE arts and crafts, so I hit up the wonderful worldwide web to find some ideas and I stumbled across an idea to make magnets! It was a really neat (and super easy) way to display race medals in a USEFUL way! Here's how I did it:
Step 1: Find some magnetic sheets that preferably has one side with adhesive. I found these at Joann Fabrics.
Step 2: Remove the ribbon used to hang it around your neck - you won't need this.
Step 3: Peel off the adhesive protector sheet.
Step 4: Place medal carefully onto the magnetic sheet - if the medal is really heavy, I recommend using extra glue to reinforce the adhesive.
Step 5: Trim off excess magnetic sheet around the medal. If the medal is a standard circle or square, this can be done with scissors. If not, then you might need a crafting blade and a firm surface to cut on.
Step 6: Proudly display your medals on the fridge!!!
