In hopes to replicate my Mom’s handiwork, I made this shadow box for my daughter.
The shadow box was purchased with a 50% off coupon from Michaels. To start you’ll iron your backing fabric. I used spray adhesive on the fabric and placed it directly over the back of the frame that pops out from the back. Once the backing fabric is attached, it’s up to you to decide what to put in your shadow box. I used my daughter’s first bonnet, first shoes, her birth announcement, hospital bracelet and her first piece of jewelry.
For the display of her bracelet, I made this little pillow with a piece of fabric stuffed with polyfill. I tied a cute ribbon around it like a present and made sure the bracelet was looped through the ribbon.
To attach everything inside of the shadow box I used straight pins. Shadow boxes also come with a piece of velcro, if you plan to use the original backing of the frame. Here’s her finished shadow box! I just love how her birth announcement has the same colors as the backing fabric. A very happy accident.
How could I not LOVE that adorable, artsy tribute to a beautiful granddaughter? !!! You did Good 🙂
