Materials:

Directions: 
Cut paper to fit inside of the shadow box (top & bottom strips: 6 ¾" x 2"; side strips: 4 ¾" x 2".)

Use Ultra-Thin Dots to decorate bottom floral strip with small glass tiles. Add enamel dots to flowers.

Attach all of the strips to the inside of shadow box using the Ultra-Thin Dots.


Adhere burlap butterflies to the background of box with more Ultra-Thin Dots.

Using the Mini Dots, secure the vintage ribbon to the bottom of the background.

Cut out the “love is in the air” phrase from the paper pad and attach it to the foam board with more Ultra-Thin Dots. Insert brads into each corner of the phrase and add heart pins to top of foam board before securing them to the box with several Ultra-Thin Dots.

Fussy-cut out some hot air balloons from the paper pad and decorate with embellishments using Ultra-Thin and Pop-Up Dots.

Attach the hot air balloons to the background using the springs and Pop-Up Dots.

Voila! Your shadowbox is complete. This project can be customized to match your own personal style by finding some great papers and embellishments. 

Tips:

  • Use Mini or Micro Dots to add an extra layer of adhesive to the enamel dots.

  • Pre-cut slits for your brads using a craft knife.
