How Do You Create A Shadow Box?
A shadow box provides a display for three-dimensional items in a glass frame. Shadow boxes date back to the Victorian era. The earliest shadow boxes contained multiple copies of a picture, cut into different sections and glued on top of each other with spacers in between to create an illusion of depth. Today’s shadow boxes might be described as three-dimensional scrapbooking. Among the most popular themes for shadow boxes today are those created from souvenirs of a particular event. Purchase a shadow box frame, essentially a picture frame with deep sides so that three-dimensional items can be placed inside. Keep in mind the size of the objects you want to place in your frame so that you purchase a frame deep enough. Also, purchase strong glue for attaching items to the back of the frame. If you wish to hang items from the top of your frame, purchase small hooks and monofilament for hanging them. Gather both two- and three-dimensional items that you want to place in the shadow box.
