How to Find a Medal Shadow Box Display
Shadow boxes can be used for a variety of craft projects, such as to display pictures or a stamp collection. Shadow boxes also often are used to display medals. The back of the shadow box can be removed so that medals can be put on display inside. Often there is a piece of felt inside the box to which the medals can be pinned so that they look like they're floating. Shadow boxes can be purchased from several different places. Once you find the one you like, you can begin displaying your medals.
