DIY Baby Shadow Box
Items needed:
-Shadow box (mine is 11"x14")
-Pearlized head straight pins
-Items for display (I used my kids' first outfits, hospital bracelets, and a tiny diaper, unused of course!)
Directions: (Sorry, blogger fail. I didn't take pictures. Was too eager to get them done!)
1. Take back off shadow box.
2. Iron cloth items, if needed.
3. Decide on layout.
4. Pin! Use your pins to hold items in place. Place them on the shadow box back shallow so they don't poke out. It takes patience! I used as few pins as I could get away with.
5. I couldn't get the letters to stay in place with pins so I used regular tape to hold it in. Just rolled it, stuck it in back of letter, and stuck it on the spot I wanted it to be.
6. Hold up your finished work to make sure nothing moves when upright.
7. Carefully place back into shadow box frame and secure.
8. Sit back and admire your work! Mine are going up in the master bedroom.
