Do you ever wonder what you can do with old sports trophies? Well, then you have come to the right place.

I have found multiple solutions to repurpose old trophies and athletic accomplishments and I'm sharing them with you today!

– thrifted frame – red, white and blue craft acrylic paint – antiquing glaze – fabric – staple gun – glue gun – chisel

Find a decent sized frame to use for this project. I went to our local Salvation Army and found a homemade frame.

I removed the plywood back and stapled my scrap fabric to it with my staple gun.

Sand, prime, and paint your frame in your desired colors

Remove all the plaques trophies that you want to keep with a chisel (a flathead screwdriver works well too!).

I put it all together by laying out a collage of the plaques and medals on the fabric covered back.

I attached the plaques with hot glue and the medals with needles, so they could be turned around.

You can bend and turn the needles the way you want to make them slide into the fabric.
