Making a Shadow Box

I knew that I needed something on one of my walls so I went to the garage and found 1/2 inch by 4 inch lumber. I cut the size box that I wanted and glued it together. I let the glue dry and painted with watered down acrylics. Next I found old scraps of fabric and assembled a doll free hand. A couple of $1 store extras and you have a shadowbox. You can put anything you like in your box, I sew a little bit so I made the doll.

Approximate Time: 2 hours

Supplies:

  • wood and wood glue
  • acrylic paint
  • fabric scraps
  • permanent fine markers for face
  • $1 store trinkets
  • rag

Instructions:

  1. Cut wood to size of box wanted. (You only need 4 pieces.)
  2. Glue the box together.
  3. Let dry.
  4. Paint with a rag and watered down acrylic color you'd like.
  5. Put together your shadowbox scene. I used a doll, plastic flower pot, and flour sack.
