Follow these steps to make a running medal holder with the ribbon inside a Kudos Coaster Plus custom display case. If you don’t have a ribbon, see how to make a race medal holder without a ribbon.
Step 1
Pop off the top and remove all Tru-Fit inserts but leave the metal plate in the base.
Step 2
Most ribbons can fit inside the Kudos Coaster Plus. If your ribbon is especially thick, considering cutting a portion of the ribbon.
Step 3
Place the ribbon inside the base, folding end-over-end in a triangular fashion. The trick is to disburse the ribbon evenly inside the base. Leave about 2” of the ribbon out of the base.
Step 4
Place the metal plate on top of the folded ribbon, leaving 2” hanging out of the base. Select a Tru-Fit insert color that complements your medal and place it on top of the metal plate.
Step 5
With the medal face side down, slide the extra 2” of ribbon through the slot in your medal until the slot is about half way down the ribbon.
Step 6
Fold the ribbon to create a loop and then flip the medal face side up. Some adjustments may be necessary to position the medal where you’d like.
Step 7
Place the top onto the base until it fits snugly. You should hear a snap when it’s properly sealed. Your medal should fit snug against the top to avoid rattling. If it’s too loose, try adding a Tru-Fit insert below the folded ribbon. If it’s too tight, try cutting away some of the ribbon to create more space inside the base.
