What is a Shadow Box?
A shadow box is a framed box that hangs on a wall just like a photo frame. However, its the perfect solution to protect and display bulky or large memorabilia because of the added space between the front of the frame and the back. Often there are several inches of space to place larger memorabilia items inside of them. Shadow boxes come in a variety of sizes and wood finishes. They also come unfinished so that you may customize yours to coordinate with the items displayed inside or to match with the decor of the room within which it is going to be displayed. Creating a Shadow Box Step 1: Choose the memorabilia. Shadow boxes can be used as a way to display mementos from many different types of events. They make fantastic gifts as well as personal decorations. Some examples include: • Baby – Birth announcement, booties, rattle, spoon, hospital photo • Wedding – Invitation, favor, sample menu, wine glasses, wedding portrait, cake topper • Graduation – Tassel, program, cap, graduation phot
