Badminton

What is Badminton? Badminton is a popular racquet sport played by millions of people around the world.

Badminton is a dynamic and exciting sport with a rich history. From its ancient origins in Asia to its development and popularization in England, badminton has become a global sport enjoyed by millions. Badminton offers a thrilling and engaging experience for participants and spectators, whether played competitively or for leisure.

Old Badminton Racquets

Old badminton racquets have an interesting history and have evolved significantly over time. In the early days of badminton, racquets were made of wood and had a simple design. These racquets were heavy and had a smaller hitting surface compared to modern racquets.

While old badminton racquets may not have the advanced technology and features of modern racquets, they hold a nostalgic charm and can be seen as a testament to the evolution of the sport. Collectors and enthusiasts may appreciate the craftsmanship and unique characteristics of a vintage badminton racket.

An old badminton racquet can still be cherished as a piece of badminton history and a reminder of how the sport has evolved over time.

Vintage Old Badminton Racquet Wreath

I found this collection of old badminton racquets while out Thrifting with the Gals over the winter. Thinking ahead to the warmer months, I thought they would make an adorable front door sporty wreath for the summer months.

I ordered a few vintage badminton birdies from eBay to go with the old badminton racquet, along with some red, white, and blue ribbons.

How to Make an Old Badminton Racquet Wreath

First, I wired the old badminton racquets together using floral wire and hung them from an existing screw already mounted on our outside front door.

Next, I used the ribbon that I had on hand to tie the vintage badminton birdies together and then secured them with the floral wire onto the old badminton racquet.

Retro Racquet

Here are a couple of badminton rackets in good condition that I recently picked up at an estate sale with a wooden handle and aluminum shaft of a badminton racquet. The badminton string was in satisfactory condition, too.
