DIY Christmas Ornament Shadow Box

Firstly, unpack your shadow box if you haven’t yet removed all protective plastics and separate all the main pieces.

Print your sentiment. I recommend measuring your available space and adjusting the printable design to fit it. Within the printer setting, you can reduce it by a percentage or you can set it up on an app like canva.

Take the window mat and adjust it to taste your printable sentiment.

Cut any excess paper.

Secure sentiment to the back of the window mat with a couple of small pieces of adhesive tape so it doesn’t move around.

Next, take your frame and start adding your Christmas ornaments. Add as many as you like but make sure you can read the sentiment.

In my case, the word Christmas got a little covered but since all the rest was visible, you get to know what it says.

Just play around with it until you like it!

Put your window mat with sentiment back in place then put back the back cover.

Turn it over.

Cut a small piece of adhesive tape. Put it right where you would like the bow to be.

Lastly, you can glue your bow with hot glue without damaging the clear material. In this case, it was not glass, so I didn’t want it to melt or deform with the heat and be able to remove it when Christmas is over.

You are good to go!

You can shake your Ornament Shadow Box a little bit to rearrange the ornaments or just leave it as it is.

Put it where you will see it and make you smile every time.
