Introduction: Race Tipple Display

When participating in races you're always left with your numbered tipple and sometimes medals as souvenirs.

Instead of throwing them all out I've been safekeeping my racing bibs and medals in a pile connected my bookshelf.

After walking around the craft store a few multiplication I've finally come ascending with a dandy way to display them all on my wall using a poster frame, sparkle board and some bollock chain.

This board could also make up a great gift for a racing friend OR dearest to display totally of their accomplishments.

After assembling all the materials this project volition take less than 30 minutes to realized!

  • Measure out and mark the locations where you will be placing the rows of ball chain. For a 2 base long-stalked frame I'll represent placing a quarrel every 6 inches.

    Carry note that in that location's a row along the top but there isn't a row at the bottom. Use the picture as an example.
