Christmas Ornament Shadow Box

My husband's mother gave the children these cute little handmade Christmas ornaments a few years ago. They were so fragile that the kids used them once and I've had them in storage ever since. 

I came across them this year and decided to make a shadow box with them. 

I found this house shaped shadow box a few years ago at a
garage sale and thought it would be perfect.

I lined my ornaments up inside to check spacing,
and took a photo so I would remember where they all went.

 

 

I took the ornaments out and cut off all the hanging strings and glued any loose bits.

 

 

 

Then I dry brushed the shadow box with white paint. 

I wanted it to look a bit shabby.

 

Then I started putting all the ornaments back in, super gluing them in place as I went.

 

 

I added a hanger to the back and hung it on the wall in the lounge room.

 

 

How cute are those ornaments!

 

The snowflake cushions is also new. :)
