Old Girl Scout Patches



I've had these patches in a bag for 20 years now trying to think how to best display them and then yesterday I hit upon it. All my patches from my Brownies and Girl Scout years now are displayed proudly on the shells of three new turtle friends! I think it's the perfect way to enjoy them :)

Thanks! I've just learned the etsy term for this type of thing is "upcycling." Using something old to make something newer and better. I like the concept - I'm going to look around my home and see if there's anything else that lends itself to this type of project.
