Remember my travel backpack? Well, after many false starts, I finally figured out a way to display the patches.
We have had these frames for years just sitting in our closet waiting for inspiration. 🙂 They came with a thick cardboard-type backing which I stapled some burlap to. I really liked the texture it gave the project.
I was initially going to label all of the patches with the country and the rough date that I went there (month, year) but in the end I liked the way it looked better without. Plus, I’m lazy. 🙂
I kept the patches roughly in order, all of the patches from one frame come before the next, but within each frame I moved them around however they looked best. That last frame looks a bit bare, I guess we had better plan another trip! 🙂
