Dizzy2012 Posted June 26, 2023 Report Share Posted June 26, 2023 I’ve always thought there must be a good way of displaying or otherwise keeping old festival bands and bags etc? I have over 10 years worth of wristbands, tote bags, guardian bags, tickets etc and would love for them to be displayed rather than in a box in the loft… does anyone have any ideas or pictures for inspo?? xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom22 Posted June 26, 2023 Report Share Posted June 26, 2023 there was a stall this year with a load of glasto scenes made into wooden xmas tree babules with a hole at the top designed for you to put your wristband through to hang from the tree. meant to go back and get some and completely forgot. i've got all my old glasto bands on my keyring, a dab of superglue has kept them all together since 2013.

Aw wish I’d seen this - they’d have made a fortune off me! I now realise I also have my kids t shirts from previous years that, unlike us, they’ll never fit in again… have to get creative with boring picture frames key ring is a good idea. I also saw one lady who had kind of folded each wristband into a little shape and pinned them over a hat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BookAngel Posted June 27, 2023 Report Share Posted June 27, 2023 Some excellent ideas - I love your wife's skirt, @sprocketrocket ! Gives me ideas for a patchwork cloak/wrap from multicoloured Guardian bags. I do try to use them for shopping but I have loads, and some designs look kind of weird to wear in the 'real' world 😆. I thought the one this year with a black background was a nice touch and will probably get more use from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philipsteak Posted June 27, 2023 Report Share Posted June 27, 2023 None of my old t-shirts fit me after losing a load of weight so a talented friend is going to turn them into cushion covers for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timbrass Posted 22 hours ago Report Share Posted 22 hours ago I've just had this made by our local Turkish clothes repair guy. I think he was quite pleased to be using his skills to make something from scratch rather than mending stuff. Required 9 tote bags to make it. Very pleased with it! 6 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you no longer require it, the Oxfam festival shop would snap your arm off, if you felt generous! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BackpackFullOfWarmBeer Posted 19 hours ago Report Share Posted 19 hours ago My wife is planning to turn our collection of tote bags into pillows. She's the handy one, but I assume it's something like this: https://lessthanperfectlifeofbliss.com/2019/04/making-a-pillow-cover-from-a-tote.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like a couture garment on couture tablets - on speed (maybe acid, even!). That man's phenomenal skills are wasted on repairs, if that's his main stock of business. Would it be possible for you to provide (publicly here, or via a DM) the name, address, etc of such a talented tailor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've upped the game for us all now! All my programmes, wrist bands and tote bags are just kept in a box. Need to do something with them!
