For the medal ribbons, I designed a fabric using Adobe Illustrator and then ordered the fabric through Spoonflower. I designed them in strips as pictured here.

Since the fabric was not double sided, I ironed two strips together back to back. I used a double sided iron-on adhesive.

Once the ribbons were ironed together, I cut them out of the fabric.

I had originally intended to 3D print the medals. However, the prints kept failing and I ran out of time to make a new file. Luckily, I was able to use some scraps of the failed prints which are pictured here. In order to create the texture of the medals, I used leftover birdhouse scraps.

I laid the balsa scraps around the center piece on top of the 3D prints. I glued them into place and then removed the center piece.

Once the glue dried, I cut all of the excess balsa scraps off around the perimeter of the medal.

I spray painted the medal pieces using a copper metallic spray paint. 

I painted the center pieces using gray nail polish, metallic silver acrylic paint, and some black acrylic paint. I made stencils with my Cricut for the engraved design.

To attach the ribbon, I used a sawtooth picture hanger. I drilled small holes into the medal and secured it with earring-making studs and glue.

For Will's shirt, I used numerous colors of iron-on material.

I cut out each color layer with my Cricut.

Once the iron-ons were finished, I ironed the layers on top of each other in the appropriate order.
