It’s no secret that art is expensive yet we all want something beautiful to adorn the walls of our home. Crafting is not only an affordable way to create art on a budget, it’s also a great way to personalize decor to your individual tastes.
We’re happy to share this project from Craft Warehouse for creating DIY Shadow Box art using a few basic craft supplies and E-6000. It’s an inexpensive project you can complete in less then an hour with long-lasting results you’re sure to cherish.
What you’ll need:
- 12×12 Black Shadow Box
- 5×5 black frame
- Scrap book paper of your choice
- A key (antique or a craft store purchase)
- A large section of Burlap
- E-6000
- Double-sided tape
Easy steps:
- Remove glass from 5×5 frame and set aside.
- Cut scrap book paper to fit the 5×5 frame.
- Glue the key to the center of the scrap book paper and assemble the 5×5 frame (Do not use the glass front).
- Cut burlap to 14×14 to fit the back of the shadow box frame.
- Wrap burlap around the backing and adhere using double-sided tape.
- Place the 5×5 frame in the middle of the covered burlap and adhere using E-6000 glue. Allow to dry up to 24 hours.
- After the glue has dried, put the back on the shadow box to complete your framed art.
