Any used container has crafty possibility. It could become the inspiration for something nifty like this shadow box frame that’s perfect for your favorite photo. I’m not one of those hoarders you see on television, but I don’t throw away anything with craft potential. When I upcycle something I would have otherwise thrown away, I feel very crafty and very green. When you finish your shadow box photo frame, you’ll know exactly what I mean.
The cranberry oatmeal cookie box I used for my shadowbox was perfect for the project. It was sturdy, constructed from a single piece of cardboard and deep enough for a genuine shadowbox look. It should be easy for you to find a similar box to use; and If you already have craft paint and glue, you won’t have to buy any craft supplies at all. It’s an easy DIY as well, doable in about 30 minutes plus paint drying time. You can put it together, and your kids will love painting it.
