How Do You Mount Things In A Shadow Box Frame?
Shadow boxes provide a fun and interesting way to display treasured objects. Go beyond paintings, prints and photographs. Use shadow boxes to display three-dimensional objects. Bring depth and drama to barren walls with antique sewing needles, treasured albums or wedding mementos. The variety of objects a shadow box holds is impressive. Use different mounting techniques to display your shadow box items in the most secure, aesthetically pleasing way. For a permanent arrangement, use craft glue to secure items to the shadow box backing. Before you glue, arrange the items in the shadow box frame as you would like to display them. Use a pen to mark where to place the glue. Drizzle the craft glue onto the marked spot. Press the desired item onto the craft glue for 10 seconds. For a more dynamic arrangement, you can insert a shelf to place items on. Use a piece of wood, metal, plastic or other hard material to use as a shelf. Glue the edges of the new shelf and insert it at the desired point
