Been carrying around boxes of them for decades, hate to throw them away and would like to honor them in some way. I'm not looking for more "stuff" so I am hoping to find practical and useful things I can create with them, not decorative like wall hangings or putting them in a display case like I've seen often. Picture on the right shows a typical intact award ribbon, left side of the ruler shows the elements deconstructed. Multiple colors, varying sizes on the flat ribbons usually 6-10" long. Each award has a middle ribbon with metallic writing and two or more side ribbons that are solid colors. I have at least 200 of them, plenty of material to create many things, and I'm able to sew at a beginner level.
