| Arrow of light display Idea Number 1 Embroidery Floss or Thread Here is an idea that has really caught on over the years is using thread or embroidery floss to decorate and add achievement Striping to your arrow.  Arrow of light Arrow done with embroidery floss Details for applying the thread can be found here courtesy of Kearstin Brewer. This idea also lends itself to using bead work for those that have access to multicolored beads. Heres one of our arrows Shared courtesy of Kerrie Edwards, of Pack 215  She Comments, "This gives you all the practice you need with whipping knots!" |
| Arrow Display Idea Number 2 Shadow Box Display Another way to display your Arrow of light arrow is to use a Shadow Box. Here is a sample of what can be done courtesy of Steven Lee of Pack 681 in San Diego  This Display utilizes the Vinyl tape striping kits reference Below, The embroidery Idea above can work here as well The 16"x20" Shadow Box can be purchased from a Micheal's or Hobby Lobby near you My 25" Arrows are a perfect fit for this size box. The clips to hold the arrow in place can be purchased here. |
| Arrow Display Idea Number 3 Coup Feathers! Mark Lederer, Cub master of Pack 7178 in American Canyon California shared another idea.  He used our Hand painted feathers He placed a wolf feather on the left - Signifying from how they started in Scouts and an eagle feather on right - signifying to where they are looking: Eagle Scout! Everyone was very pleased! |
| Arrow Display Idea Number 4 Plaques Here is a Reject Plaque I donated to a local Pack, Turned out real nice despite the Plug on the front Face that made it unsellable.  Plaques are a great way to display your arrow. You can make your own plaque like The one in Idea number 3 above or you can get on of my Pre-made Baltic Birch plaques. I have 2 styles available starting at just $15 each https://arrow-of-light-awards.com/Plaque.html |
| Arrow Display Idea Number 5 Leather Feather straps There are also various methods for displaying your completed Arrow of light Arrow. One Idea I came up with was to use a leather feather strap tied off on both ends of the arrow. Short of nails, this is probably the least expensive method available Here is an example of an arrow hung in this way:  I offer these Feather straps for only $6 Each https://arrow-of-light-awards.com/featherstraps.html These straps can be cut in 2 to hang the arrow from a plaque as well! |
Traditionally, AOL Arrows were painted with achievements strips customized for each Individual
