Shadow Box Frame + Giveaway!

July 14, 2014 By: Melanie

Steffany and I are thrilled to be over at The Wood Connection today to share our latest Wood Connection project-an adorable and easy shadow box frame!   If your like me, you are taking way too many pictures with all the summer fun going on.   I probably should take less pictures…..but what fun is that?!!  The next best thing is to get those pictures on display.  This is a quick project perfect for displaying those fun summer photos, or even a great quote, or some kids artwork, maybe tickets to an upcoming event……anything!Shadow box frame-the wood connection (2)

Here’s what you need from the Wood Connection:

  • One shadow box (they have 4 different sizes to choose from, ours is the 8×10 size)
  • Paint & brush
  • Paper for background
  • Mini clothespins
  • Ribbon

You will also need two cup hooks and some glue.  Start by painting the shadow box.  (We painted ours before we took this picture…)

Next, cut the paper to fit inside and glue in place.Shadow box frame-the wood connection (6)

Use a pencil to mark where you want the cup hooks, then twist them in.  No tools required!  The wood is soft enough to twist them in by hand. 🙂Shadow box frame-the wood connection (5)

Last, tie a piece of ribbon or jute across from hook to hook.Shadow box frame-the wood connection (4)

We also tied a piece of ribbon around the whole box with a bow on top.  Then simply use the clothespins to hang a picture!

We put a strip of washi tape over the mini clothespin to dress them up a bit.  Shadow box frame-the wood connection (13)

Of course, it’s super easy to switch out the picture:  Shadow box frame-the wood connection (12) Shadow box frame-the wood connection (11) Shadow box frame-the wood connection (1)

My girls love choosing what to display next!  It’s a fun way to keep the summer memories alive – and so great to see some of those summer photos make their way into our home for display!  So let’s just keep on taking pictures…..even if it is too many. 😉
