Hi this is Jenny with simple beautiful crafts on behalf of expertvillage.com. I like to show you how to turn ordinary objects in to shadow boxes. As you know a shadow box is a deep frame design to hold mementos, collectibles, and other things. It has a removable back you can buy it in a craft store or a frame shop but they usually run about $20. I like to show you some things that I found every single thing that I found cost $10 or less and we are going to turn all of this ordinary everyday objects into shadow boxes. Here we have a basket that got a foam in it for putting in picks for artificial flowers and some moss that is going to become a shadow box. We have a nice deep basket came from Big Lots for only $5 we are going to turn this into a shadow box. We are also going to use this wicker and wire basket that would become a shadow box. I'm very excited to make a shadow box out of this beautiful white basket with yellow fabric. Also I have a copper wire basket that is going to become a shadow box. This red tin tray is going to be a great shadow box. I can't hardly wait to show you that one. This is just a ordinary board divider that you use in the kitchen but it is going to be a dynamic shadow box for the kitchen. This is to hold your CDs this is going to be a great shadow box. In matter of fact we are going to turn this into three different kinds of shadow boxes. I'm also very excited about this cutlery This was a 7.99 picture that was on clearance for $4 I don't care for the picture but it is going to become a shadow box. This is just the beginning you can let your imagination run wild and find everyday objects and items that you to can turn into beautiful shadow boxes.
