Tiny Shadowboxes
February 16, 2012
Wanted to share with you my latest project for Bloesem Kids: Tiny shadowboxes for tiny treasures.
What you’ll need:
* kraft favor boxes
* colorful and/or patterned paper (the color pack I used is from IKEA)
* rope or string
* hot glue gun
* double-sided tape or all-purpose glue
Step 1:
Set aside and save the lids to the boxes for another project. Play around with different configurations of boxes until you’re happy with the arrangement.
Step2:
Choose your paper colors for lining the inside of box. Trace around the outside of the box onto paper to get the box general size and shape. Cut out paper and trim down until it fits nicely inside.
Step 3:
Using a bit of glue or double-sided tape, affix paper to inside of box.
Step 4:
With glue gun, attach boxes together
Step 5:
To make the hanger, cut small holes out of the sides of the topmost box(es). The hole should be about a quarter of an inch from the back of the box. Thread rope or string through (from the outside), knot, and repeat on other side.
Step 6:
Hunt down some tiny treasure to populate your shadow box!

These are great! They kind of have a nautical/beach them to them, but they are perfect for a kid’s bedroom. Even a bathroom perhaps?
