Christmas Ornament Shadow Box
My husband's mother gave the children these cute little handmade Christmas ornaments a few years ago. They were so fragile that the kids used them once and I've had them in storage ever since.
I came across them this year and decided to make a shadow box with them.
I found this house shaped shadow box a few years ago at a
garage sale and thought it would be perfect.

I lined my ornaments up inside to check spacing,
and took a photo so I would remember where they all went.

I took the ornaments out and cut off all the hanging strings and glued any loose bits.
Then I dry brushed the shadow box with white paint.
I wanted it to look a bit shabby.
Then I started putting all the ornaments back in, super gluing them in place as I went.
I added a hanger to the back and hung it on the wall in the lounge room.
How cute are those ornaments!
The snowflake cushions is also new. :)

ReplyDeleteLove it! I have the very same ornaments. Gosh, I think they are about eight to ten years old now. My daughter hangs them on a wooden Christmas tree that counts down the days. I did photograph it this year.
ReplyDeleteLol. What a coincidence. I just popped over to your blog. Your home is beautiful and that cat of yours is just gorgeous! Thanks for finding me. I look forward to following along with you. :) Julie
