Starkehre Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 I have this for my sashes from Ribbon Mate. As each hanger fills, it becomes more profuse from the wall. You can purchase 3 different widths of hangers and just keep adding more. I love it. Wow...that's neat. Do they slide off though or are they fixed on in some way Each hanger is hooked onto the bottom of the one above it. the ribbons are threaded through the slots in the hanger. Once you tip the hanger back into this upright position, it locks the ribbon in place. They can slip a little bit if you knock them, but they won't slip right off. When you need to attach more ribbons, you simply unhook the hanger you will slot them into, lay it flat somewhere (I do it between 2 chair rests).

Starkehre Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 (edited) No probs. I took a couple more photos depicting the hooks better and also how the display becomes profuse and 3D. You can see how I used an entire hanger to thread the V medallions into, which works pretty well too, but not everyone needs to worry about those. Also I now have made a separate board for rosettes and just velcroed them on. Not sure how that is going to go tho, cause it already pretty full and I have more. So already rethinking that one. I think for rosettes you almost need one long horizontal display attachment to stick them on to?? :) Edited November 11, 2013 by dyzney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silentchild Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Loving all the displays so far. Does anyone have any ideas for a display that doesn't need to be hung from walls? (Living in rental - can't hang anything on the walls) So far the fishing line idea is a great one, but I'm not even allowed to have blue-tac on my walls so can't pin it up..

Cat keeps thinking they are hers and will parade them proudly around the house. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Rumour~ Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 I've seen people display them in a vase or a few, it can look quite good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alyosha Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 One I saw recently was a lovely rustic old wooden ladder - great for rentals as it just leans against the wall and doesn't affixing. Drape the ribbons over the rungs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silentchild Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Alyosha, that is a terrific idea!!!!! I may have to go ladder hunting soon. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Podengo Posted December 9, 2013 Author Share Posted December 9, 2013 I've heard of having them made into quilts/pillows etc... I have a fishing line strung across the wall, with the ribbons paperclipped to it. thinking of the quilt.. but then I have for different disaplines, and would have to consider weather to combine... I ended up going with this idea! Simple and can fit quite a few ribbons :) I only put her 1st-3rd place ribbons up, not sure what to do with the other ones!

Alyosha Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 I have also recently put some up behind hanging pictures (smallish paintings) - ribbons draped over a wire coathanger. The coathanger goes on the hook the painting is on and the painting hides it. The ribbons hang down below it in a nice fan shape. I'll take a photo when I get home if that doesn't make sense!

Oh that sounds really nice - I'm keen to see a photo! We're renovating in March so if I find any better ideas by then I can always change what I have :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
