Gathering Your Supplies

To embark on your ribbon medal-making journey, it's essential to have the right materials at your disposal. Here's what you'll need:

Ribbons

Choose ribbons of various colors and sizes to suit the purpose of your medals. Make sure they are of high quality and visually appealing.

Medals and Charms

Select medals or charms that are relevant to the event or achievement you're commemorating. These can be customized to add a personal touch.

Glue and Scissors

Quality glue and sharp scissors are crucial for precision when assembling your ribbon medals.

Printing Materials

If you want to add custom labels or designs, you'll need access to a printer, suitable paper, and design software.

Designing Your Ribbon Medals

Choose Your Ribbon Combinations

The first step is to select the ribbons that match your event's theme. Consider using the colors associated with your organization, school, or the nature of the achievement.

Medal Selection

Choose the medals or charms that best represent the achievement. If you're making medals for a school event, you might want to use academic symbols. For a sports event, sports-related charms work well.

Layout and Design

Plan the layout of your ribbon medal. Measure the length of ribbon needed for the neck strap and the hanging ribbon. Use design software to create labels if required.

Assembling Your Ribbon Medals

Cutting Ribbons

Use your scissors to cut the ribbons to the desired lengths. Ensure clean, neat edges.

Attaching Medals

Carefully glue the medals or charms to the ribbons. Ensure that they are centered and secure.

Adding Labels

If you've created custom labels, glue them onto the ribbons as well.

Final Touches

Let Them Dry

Allow your custom ribbon medals to dry completely. This ensures that everything stays in place.

Presentation

Once dry, your ribbon medals are ready to be presented. Consider placing them in a decorative box or bag for a polished look.

Share the Joy

Distribute your ribbon medals with pride. The recipients will appreciate the effort and thought put into crafting these beautiful awards.
