How to Make a China & Fancy Dish Shadow Box
Hello this is Jenny with simple beautiful crafts on behalf of expertvillage.com. I have one more idea to show you for the CD case that can be turned into a shadow box. If you are like me you collected a variety of beautiful dishes over the years and don't always know what to do to display them or perhaps you have a collection of teacups and again you are not quite sure how to display them. While this is of course intended to hold CDs but if you put in its side so it does stair steps it becomes a shadow box how you could put in tea cups it won't sit in the inside but it could always go on the outside. You could put your beautiful bowls in your display case and on your display case. You could also add to it by getting another display case for more of the same. Now if you put this against the white wall sometimes some of your lighter dishes might disappear. What you can do counter act that is take some colorful paper whether it is a dark color like this to bring out the contrast or even a light color like this which could also provide a different contrast. So if you back your empty shadow box with some dull paper or even shiny paper it would change the look completely of what you are trying to do. You can also use a solid sheet so you would have the same color behind all of your pieces. So whether you chose to back it on your just hang it on your plain wall again this is delightful way to show of some of those beautiful bowls that you have been collecting and just didn't know just quiet what to do with it. A beautiful shadow box for your special bowls.
