Displaying lanyard / shadow box

[RedM94]

After several unsuccessful search attempts, I am hoping that I didn't dream seeing photos on this thread of shadow box lanyard display. I seem to remember seeing someone create awesome ABD shadow box display of their laynard and small momentos from their trip.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

No you didn’t dream it! My Mom and I used it as a guide to make our own shadow boxes for our BSM trip. It’s in the thread “The box arrived.....” the last post date is Nov ‘17. It was posted by Cousin Orville. Hope that helps!

Yes, that is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so very much!

This is our ABD NYC trip shadow box. We (still) haven't finished our Peru trip yet.

This one wasn't as fancy as some of the others, but here's the one I did from our Wyoming trip. The map in the background is actually a bandana that the guides had bought for us.

What dimensions work for a shadow box to display the full lanyard?

Our NYC shadow box is 15x19 and I'm pretty sure my wife picked it up Marshals. We used a mixture of items from the ABD trip itself as well as items/tickets from things we did on our pre trip days.

Here you go (Vietnam, France, and Australia):

They sell shadow boxes at "Michaels" craft stores as well as "Christmas Tree shops" and when you use their coupons it makes the cost quite reasonable.

My pins are sitting in a ziploc bag. You all are inspiring!

Agree! But I do have mine in a separate ziplock for each trip...
LOVE the shadow boxes!!!

I thought I was doing pretty well when I put them up like this:



But y'all put me to shame!

I replaced my lanyard at work with my ABD one. No pins though.

I bought shadow boxes at Michaels as well - don’t forget the coupon! Here is our ABD Wall
