Cloth wristbands

[marathonsteve]

What do you do with them once you finished at a festival ?

[H.M.V]

Stick em in a box with gig tickets and lanyards etc for when I'm old and decrepit with a crap memory.

^ that. I have a box full, collected over the years.

I am just about to get rid of all my wristbands, tote bags, guardian bags, lanyards, programmes, Q Reviews, Free Press, and whatever newspaper preceded that.  They sit in a box and I move from house to house and they still sit in a box.  The only time I look at them is when I'm moving and wondering what is in that box.

Anyone want them?

Used to keep everything - wristbands, gig stubs, programmes... now I just chuck it all. Had a big clear out pre-baby and chucked all of my old stubs and whatnot as a. they take up room, and b. I never look at them anyway.

I keep the latest two on my keys as keyrings - glastonbury 2017 and download Paris. They help me feel rock n roll as I open my front door!

I keep them all in a drawer along with tickets, lanyards and etc. I've been planning since 1990 to put them in chronological order in some sort of framed something-something The drawer has moved countries with me three times already, still in a mess so I think it's pretty clear the DIY project will never happen.

Had my first framed with the ticket and  Glastonbury map

lose some .... the rest im trying to work out a way of incorporating them into this years fancy dress 

[SighMo]

I saw a girl at EotR with a few -not too many- festival wristbands neatly sewn into her jeans, along the pocket edges; looked pretty cool.

[Kizzie]

They're hanging on the doorknobs

[RichardWaller]

The wristbands will come into a couple of showers with me to freshen up a bit and get kept in a photo album/scrap book thing I’ve been building up. Love flicking through that, especially in the weeks running up to the festival.

[Pinhead]

As a natural collector I have amassed a shitload of all sorts of paraphernalia relating to festivals and not just Glasto. It takes up a wardrobe at home affectionately referred to as 'The Archive'...

[the wonderwhy]

keep em on my wrist, obviously 

[mike46]

I’ve put mine into a photo frame, always makes me smile walking past it!

Nice!?

I am a squirrel and generally can't bring myself to throw this stuff. Totes get used for supermarket shop, guardian bag gets re-used each glasto, it's a decent size for the fest day. Programmes, kept. Wristbands are worn as long as possible (yeah I'm one of them!). Don't wear a watch so is only thing on wrist. Always a tough thing to remove, had to cut off the 07 and 08 one for a mri, had to remove 10, 14, 15 and 16 in 2016 to participate in an artwork, still wearing 17. So barely been without it for a decade

[mashedonmud]

Lanyards and wrist bands make nice decorations for caravan. Programmes also kept for reading (memory jogging) material inside the caravan  Have noticed some programmes have developed very neat 2"square shaped holes in covers. Some very tidy moths have lived in that van.

Wristbands come off and get looped onto the strap of my camping / festival rucksack. The rest ends up in various drawers around the house

[deebeedoobee]

Some in a frame. Some made into light pulls for the bedrooms. The rest in a box awaiting the next project.

I wander sometimes I really do... 

You do what ever you want to do with them...
