I found this adorable unfinished shadow box at the Dollar Tree, and I should have bought all that they had!
First I put a piece of computer paper over the top and with a pencil did a rubbing so I could figure out the sizes of the boxes later.
Then I whitewashed it with a light coat of off white, only the sides, not the back inside.
Next I went through all of the embelishments/papers/stickers/ stuff that I have for scrapbooking and found/designed what I wanted for each box.
Then using the template from the rubbing I cut coordinating paper for the back and glued it in with plain white glue.
Using pop dots for dimension I glued the other pieces in place.
Total cost was $1 + tax for the box, everything else I had on hand.
TADAA!!
I hope the pictures pick up the dimension enough, I really like how it turned out!
