I would love to incorporate old race medals into my garden, maybe on stakes? Does anyone have any ideas how to do this? I am not very handy, but I can ask for help from Crafty Friends

    Hi Barb,

    You could hang them on tomato cages, I do this with crystal (actually glass) light string pulls. If you have a fruit tree, you could hang them on that.

    Best to your creativity.

    Congratulations on winning them!! Are they round. all same size, metal???? What did you win them for? Doesn't really matter just curious mostly. Buy the driveway reflectors from Amazon pop out reflectors,or adhere them onto reflector,or cut reflector off completely and just use thin stake part then use outdoor adhesive E6000 or JBWELD to attach Here's some https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LX0488Z/ref=sspa_dk_detail_3?psc=1 You could cut these to different hieghts to stagger thru out garden. Another idea make them into Chimes don't need them to be uniform in shape or size or material. Another just hang them in trees as yard art(if you have trees) or on small shepards hooks thru out garden areas

    If used in your garden, watch that sun's rays don't intensely reflect light/heat onto more delicate leaf surfaces.

    Hi Barb. I'm Cindy. I recently got out the old metals my son and I received from years ago. They are metals that are on ribbons intended to be worn around your neck. My son said I could use his along with mine for a project I want to make. I am going to make wind chimes with them. I love the sound they make when you jingle them.

    What a great idea! I've had success outdoors with construction adhesive. Do you have some solar light fixtures you could attach them to? What about using them to accent metal planters or pots?
