How can i make wall shadow boxes?




Step1


Line the backboard of the shadow box with batting covered with fabric, felt or decorative paper. Attach items to the batting and fabric with either Velcro strips, spray adhesive or small pins (if appropriate for the texture of the item).





Step2


Create a dimensional display box by mounting the items on little blocks of wood or foam pieces. You should use a strong adhesive to attach the wood pieces permanently to the board. However, it%26#039;s okay to pin or hot-glue foam pieces to the backboard.





Step3


Place your keepsakes in the shadow box, starting in the middle and working your way outward. You can add embellishments to enhance your shadow box, such as pinbacks, ticket stubs, napkins, matchbook holders, vinyl records or small pennants.





Step4


Think outside the box to display your memorabilia. To shadow box theater memorabilia, attach pieces of velvet fabric to the wood frame to create a curtain. Then fill your mock stage with a playbill, program, newspaper review and other elements to symbolize your favorite musical or Broadway play.
