Have been looking for one of these for ages! Previously had the tin holder but it rusted up over winter and I couldn't open it and it looked really bad. Found this ceramic one at Bunning's for about $4 each so I got two because I'm a mosquito magnet and need protecting :P And it came with 4 coils that are citronella so they smell nicer than normal coils and should annoy the neighbours less. GREAT FIND!
The medals didn't come with information on how to attach the medals only how far apart to place them. They miniature medal is obviously just through the eyelet and around the edge (see 1st sketch bellow) but the large medal has two eyelets which could be sewn through just the eyelets (left side of 2nd sketch) and not around the edge or around the edge (right side of 2nd sketch). I only suggest it could have been around the edges because then the mini an full would look the same. Did some research and based on the pictures that I could find (note: mainly British medals) the stitch on the full medal goes only between the two eyelets. What you will need: - medals and clasps (obviously) - measurements (should comes with medal) - thread matching the ribbon (in this case green and not gold...also obvious) - needle and needle threader - scissors - ruler Measure the distances according to the information provided with the medal. This is the mini...
Good find! Went off and bought 2 for ourselves!
