Recently, I asked you on my IG post if you wanted to see a shadowbox tutorial for this piece:
The answer was a resounding yes – so here it is for you! You’re clearly as much of a fan of inexpensive, easy DIY holiday gifts that look like a million bucks as I am!
If I’m being honest, this shadowbox tutorial was inspired by the frame. I saw it on a recent trip to IKEA and thought it would be easy enough to turn it into the perfect Christmas decoration. It was kind of like when you have a new pair of shoes that you want to wear and you base the rest of your outfit around the shoes instead of the other way around…only the art version of that.
I hope you enjoy this holiday shadowbox tutorial! Just scroll down to find your full linked supply list, full video tutorial and your free downloads.
Merry Christmas, friend!
