It was easier than I thought. The shadow box (15"x15") was on sale (thank goodness) at Pictures Plus (for those of you who live in Hawaii). I gathered his awards and badges. I did strip his shirt. There are some badges that will go on his scout uniform, so those few items, I did go to the scout store and buy another so that I had one for the shadow box.This is what we came up with in the end. So this is before everything is glued down.
These are actually everything he got. I couldn't fit his day camp badges in there. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with these.
Tyler was very happy about it. I won't take full credit for it though. Randy did help with arranging it. There were pins on the right side, but I decided to take them out. Those were my mother's pins. Not sure yet what I'll do with those. What I think would actually be awesome is to have a huge shadow box where I can fit everything including his cars and arrow of light award. We'll see.
This is a pretty cool way to handle all the cub scouting things - I ended up taking my boys shirts with everything on them, added the full belt around the middle and hung them on their bedroom walls next to their arrow of lights. What a cool way to remember everything they did!
ReplyDeleteIt looks nice! And a great way to keep everything.
ReplyDeleteDid you use hot glue to fix badges to backing?
