The only thing worse than having to stare at bare apartment walls is the nauseating feeling of shelling out the cash for cool wall decor. It always seems like the paintings and knick knacks you like the most also cost the most.
These do it yourself shadow boxes allow you to fill your walls with your most memorable times. You are also in control of the exact colors and sizes that fit your rooms!
Heres what you need:
- 1 Vintage picture frame
- Tape measure
- 1 inch common finishing nails
- 1/4 inch utility plywood
- Saw
- Wood glue
- Paint in the color(s) of your choice
Step One
Measure the inside of the picture frame along the long side. Cut two pieces of wood to this length.
Step Two
Place the cut boards inside the the frame and measure the distance between them. This distance is how long the remaining two boards should be.
Step Three
Glue the wood boards to the inside of the frame and to each other.
Hint: wipe off all of any extra glue
Step Four
Once all of the glue has dried nail the boards together. For extra security nail the boards the the picture frame itself.
Step Five
Paint your new shadow boxes as you please!
Note: I painted mine to match my bed comforter.
Step Six
Fill the boxes with memories that will last a life time!
'Take care of all your memories. For you cannot relive them.' - Bob Dylan
