Looking for some fun and unique ways to display awards ribbons and honor certificates in your child's bedroom? You can use these ideas to create fun and unique awards ribbons and honor certificates displays that can serve as kid's furniture, artwork, and inspiration for a fun and inviting bedroom.

Here are 3 ways to decorate a kid's room with awards ribbons and honor certificates and show off their hard work:

Unique Ways to Display Awards Ribbons #1: Headboard

A cool way to display awards ribbons and honor certificates that won't make Mom and Dad crazy is to turn them into a headboard. This flat headboard is perfect for a small bedroom as well.

To start simple hang a row of awards ribbons and honor certificates right above the bed, about 12 inches above the bed. Line them up left to right. Now, add a second row. Continue until you have made your awards ribbon display ideas headboard as tall as you want.

You can also simple attach a large corkboard to the wall above the bed and use tacks to change out your awards ribbons and honor certificates whoever you choose.

Unique Ways to Display Awards Ribbons #2: Desk Top

Another fun way to display awards ribbons and honor certificates is to take an old desk, one you do not mind gluing something to. Now, measure how wide and tall the top is.

Cut your award papers and certificates out to this exact same size. Now use decoupage to apply the papers to the top of the desk. Paint a coat on the desk, and then apply your poster. Paint a final coat of decoupage on top.

If you do not want to use the decoupage, then have sheet of glass cut out to the same size Lay the awards ribbons and honor certificates on the desk, then top with glass. Look for a nice piece of beveled glass that will stay in place. The rich bevel will add an expensive touch.

Unique Ways to Display Awards Ribbons#3: Rug

Finally, take your awards ribbons and honor certificates and scan the into the computer. Copy these into your computer and print them on photo transfer paper

Now, iron them onto a sheet of canvas. Fold the edges of the canvas under and glue them down to hem your canvas floor rug! Use a heavy duty fabric glue.

Another option s to simply transfer the image to the canvas by hand. You can do the outlines with a black fabric pen. Paint in the outlines like a paint by number.

This is a fun project for teens and kids of all ages and they will have a great time showing off their skills.
