I'm needing some suggestions here, not how-tos, but if you want to post a how-to, by my guest!

I'd like to display my Eagle Scout medal in my office at work, but I'm at loss as to what to do. I'd rather make the display myself than buy a shadow box.

Thanks!

Phillip

You could make a leather shield of the outline, bevel the border and darken it for contrast leaving the area behind the badge lighter.

Stitch all around the border.

Very cool idea! I love it. I was thinking of a lame frame kind of thing.

So, how do I fade and darken the dies (Fade out from the middle)?

I forgot to mention putting suede on the back side to stiffen it up.

Depending on the dye you use, you can block out the center or just use a brush with darker dye on the border.

Someone else might use an air brush, there are different methods depending on what you already have to work with.
