I am looking for a way to display my dog's award ribbons (which are 2" x 8.5") and thought that I could find some clear plastic 3-ring binder pages with sleeves that I could slide the ribbons into for display, but I can't find any with sleeves that will fit the 2"x8.5" size of the ribbons. There are binder pages for currency collections that will almost fit, but the sleeves in the pages are still too short. If anyone knows where to get binder pages that will fit the ribbons or has any other ideas on a way to display them (other than adhesive pages), I would really appreciate hearing from you! Thanks

Sheet protectors are close, but ideally these would have divisions inside to keep the individual ribbons separate so they don't slide around and obscure each other. One potential solution I have found is photo album pages for panoramic photos, which have long, narrow sleeves for the panoramic pics that are basically the same size as a ribbon.
Any other ideas are welcome, especially if you've created something like this yourself before.

What you are looking for are called Top Loading Clear Sheet Protectors. They often come in a package of 10, and will hold up to an 81/2 x 11" sheet of paper.
You can find these at Big Lots for .59, at WalMart for slightly more, Staples, Office Depot, etc... Sometimes, you can even find them at the Dollar Tree. (There are many on-line office suppliers too.) At stores like WalMart, you will normally find them in the stationary aisles.
Could you use the sheet protectors, and section them off with with double sided tape used in scrapbooking. (That way it should be acid free and if it did come into contact with the ribbons, it wouldn't damage them.
Additionally, if you or someone you know has a food sealer thing (the vacuum sealer thing), you can make individual protective sections and seal all edges to lock out any dirt, etc...

Maybe the pages that trading cards are kept in, try your local sports/trading card shop. Definitely look at a stationary store or camera shop at the photo album choices. There are many different sizes of photo album pockets, because photos come in different sizes.

you could try and check with a local trophy shop. or you could even find out if there is a store in your area called "Hobby Lobby" they have all kinds of scrapbook materials to work with. I've even been lucky for odd findings at a store called "scrapbook groupies"....just depends on if you have those stores in your area or any other that has hobby items.
