VIDEO: Tinker medals yourself

After you have obtained all the materials and know how many medals you would like to make yourself, nothing stands in the way of making them.

Preparation of the medals

• First, draw the number of circles you need for your purposes on the cardboard, preferably a medal for each child. The diameter should be between 5-7 cm. Cut this out.
• Then draw exactly as many circles in the same size as you have prepared cardboard circles on the gold foil and cut them out.
• Now make the same number of gold circles, but these should be approx. 1 cm larger than the previous circles.
• The next step is to cut the ribbon to hang the medals. The length should be around 30 cm, but you can measure this on a child beforehand. The tape should go comfortably over your head, but not be too long either.

• Now glue one end of the ribbon to one side of the medal, leaving it approx. 2-3 cm on the cardboard and attach the other end to the other side of the coin, exactly level with the other end.

• After that, coat one side of the medal with glue and attach the gold paper, the diameter of which is a little larger, to it fold over the edges so that when the second film is glued on, the edges are also glued over and thus a tidy finish arises.
• If the gold foil should protrude in one or more places, you can clean it up with the scissors.

Tinker the ornament yourself

• Now you can design the medals according to your wishes and ideas. You can either apply numbers with a waterproof pen, but you can also press them into the foil with a wider object. Furthermore, you can stick on small motifs, which z. B. show what kind of competitions have taken place.

Have fun tinkering the medals yourself and at the competitions.
