Shadow Box for Plundered Treasure







   To create your customized Shadow Box: 


-shadow box (Some shadow boxes are hinged with a front opening. The one I purchased has a back opening just like a picture frame.)
-Christmas ornaments; or other trinkets and tchotchkes for the shadow box
-ribbon, trim, other Christmas decorations
-background paper, optional 



This very simple craft project took care of a major problem I had with an overabundance of inherited vintage Christmas ornaments. I poked around Google for various craft project ideas that did not include or involve:


-glue/hot glue guns (not a fan of hot glue guns!) or hours of time

Cost: $19.99 for shadow box ($39.99 original price and shadow boxes were 50% off the day I visited Michaels' crafts. What luck!) In addition, the shadow box was already painted a light gold color which saved another step.
