I make my own medals so I can save myself a lot of hassle and I've made my own medals with ribbon drapes from Glendale parade store or buy ribbons from arts and crafts stores and combining them together and making your own medal is a lot better than wearing a real military medal that you did not earn, people might take offense... great job on making your own medals and keep up the great work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4099373992105890126.post-49019088118481080522015-01-31T16:43:50.420-06:002015-01-31T16:43:50.420-06:00Most of these ribbons were reclaimed from old hat ...Most of these ribbons were reclaimed from old hat bands and dress ties.

(Dampening your finger just a little can help.) But, the large ring of the pendant around the ribbon is mainly what keeps it in place.mieljoliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10758426419108501188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4099373992105890126.post-31694747601803039282014-05-13T01:10:00.967-05:002014-05-13T01:10:00.967-05:00These are awesome, I'm trying some of my own. ...These are awesome, I'm trying some of my own.

Great job figuring out a way to make them so they won't fall apart the first time you wear them!

Well, I had white ribbon, a greek cross and a dragon pendant, so it all just came together that way. But, I imagine the medal would be more about aiding in defeating myths about "dragons" being evil. I happen to like reptiles, myself. :) <br /><br />Thanks for stopping in to comment, too!<br /><br />Mieljoliemieljoliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10758426419108501188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4099373992105890126.post-16306398881626452442012-04-20T21:23:41.326-05:002012-04-20T21:23:41.326-05:00They look great and so much fun!
