Phillip Carr Report post Posted February 4, 2014 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!

Tree Reaper Report post Posted February 4, 2014 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phillip Carr Report post Posted February 4, 2014 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)? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tree Reaper Report post Posted February 4, 2014 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
