Think inside the box

Here is a unique craft for Mother’s Day. It’s not specifically for Mother’s Day, which is kind of nice because Moms always showcase their presents & years from now, people won’t pass by it & say, oh that must’ve been a Mother’s Day present. You can put together a nice shadowbox quite easily & inexpensively. You can either purchase a shadow box at a craft store, or even make your own. This is a great craft that even kids can do. I think the most important thing to remember when creating a shadow box is to have a theme. Whether it’s a vacation, a favorite flower, or just memories from your childhood, or even your Mom’s favorite color, be sure to choose pieces that relate to each other. This can also be done to showcase family history, showcasing a piece from each of your grandparents, & great grandparents, these can be things as simple as odds & ends of jewelry or broken pieces of china.
