Creating With Race Bibs

We all have a pile of them somewhere in our house.

You can't just throw them away, right?

You worked hard for those race bibs, so display them proudly.

Here are some creative ideas:

Race Bib Coasters. 

I love this idea. You can have them created for you through a website like goneforarun.com. For the more talented among us, you can create your own with some tiles, modge podge, and brush on glaze.

Race Bib Tote Bag. 

This would make a great bag to carry your race gear in. Again, you can have one created through a website like mile22bags.com. But, if you lean toward the more creative side, make your own.

Race Bib Quilt.

What a great way to keep warm on a cold winter day after running the Frozen Toe 10k! Campusquilt.com will scan your race bibs onto material for quilting or even create the quilt for you. 

Apparently this is not a popular option, as I had a hard time finding a photo of one. Most folks go with the race shirts rather than bibs for this option.

Race Bibs Framed.

Frame 'em! That's simple enough. All you need is a frame. Of course, if you're my mom, you will also need clear tape to hold each bib in it's place perfectly aligned to every other bib. If you're me, you'll just throw them all in there and they land where they land. Either way, it's a quick and easy way to display them. 

Race Bib Holders.

While I'm sure the more DIY among you will figure out a way to do this yourself, you can order these through a website like runningonthewall.com. The adventures of Z&K walk you through the DIY option here: http://theadventuresofzandk.com/2012/11/23/diy-race-bib-holder/

Race Bib Wallpaper.

Or just paper up your basement, office, or workout room. Probably don't use those mud run bibs, but, hey, its your house!
