At the end of last year I showed the wedding shadow box I made. I looked back on it and I realized I didn’t tell ya all how I made it. So, I decided that I needed to do that. I am linking this post up with the Dog Days of Winter are Over “Make It” linky party over at House of Rose.
This was my pinspiration:
Okay, so here is my shadow box again.
I got the shadow box couple of years ago from Archiver’s. It was on sale so I got it for $15 instead of the $25 it was supposed to be. (The tag was still on it.) Anyways, I took it apart and glued a piece of ocean scrapbook paper to the back part. Then I painted the inside frame. Our wedding colors were turquoise and pink so I actually used those two colors to paint it, but I didn’t realize that the pink was the only color that would end up showing. Oh well, at least the turquoise is there anyways.
I took some of my favorite pictures from our wedding and glued them right on the paper. I used silver stickers to put our name and wedding date in the frame and a heart sticker that I have had forever. The flowers are from the leis we are wearing in the pictures.( I actually took the pink and blue flowers that are laying loose out. I decided that they were too much and you couldn’t see the bottom of the pictures.) I love it. I didn’t turn out exactly like the one I pinned, but that is exactly what Pintrest crafts are all about. Making it your own idea. I want to get one of those alphabet photos to go somewhere in our room too.
We chose to put it right by our door so you can see it when you come in our room.
I still have to get my wedding scrapbook together. We have kind of procrastinated on getting our pictures printed.
