If you want to make trophies, you will find that they are not all that complicated. In fact, most trophies have several things in common, such as a wood or marble base, a column or two, and a sculpture or some sort of décor atop the column. Your only lingering question may be where to find the pieces to make them.
Craft and Hobby Shops
Blocks of wood and marble can often be found at craft and hobby shops, and from time to time you may even be able to find figurines for the top as well as the columns that are used. Although not all craft and hobby shops carry these items, they are a place to start.
Online Dealers
There are many trophy parts online dealers, such as TrophyKits.com. These dealers will send you just a few or thousands of parts, as you need them. With many to choose from you will find that you can get just about any trophy parts that you might need, in varying materials, colors and sizes. You can usually get the best deal if you order in large quantities from these dealers, as this will also save you on shipping costs.
Local Trophy Shops
Local trophy shops will often sell you parts that they have on hand. In some areas you may find that the trophy shops will sell trophy kits that will contain all of the pieces that you need to create your own awards and trophies. These kits will generally cost less than a premade trophy would, and there is some pride in creating your own trophy.
Old Trophies
Old trophies are often a great source of parts for new trophies. Pawn shops or thrift shops often have expansive collections of trophies. You can buy these for very little, take them apart, and have a great selection of trophy parts at your disposal. If you have trophies that you no longer want to put on display, they will also provide a lot of odds and ends that can easily be reused.
