If you happen to be looking for a convenient, reliable way of displaying special keepsakes and memorable pictures, then a shadow box frame may be the perfect solution.
Instead of just keeping memories and other keepsakes in storage boxes, you should try putting them in shadow boxes. This way, you’ll get the best of both worlds – you get to enjoy the pleasure of seeing the priceless moments of your life, without having to worry about your mementos getting dusty or damaged.
From weddings, birthdays, graduation ceremonies, anniversaries, to the birth of a new family member and any other special occasion, shadow box frames add beauty, vividness, and dimension to your pictures. A shadow box picture frame will help keep your timeless photos protected and let you enjoy them for many years.
Shadowbox picture frames come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and depths, so you won’t have to worry whether your picture will fit in one. Standard shadowbox frames range in depth from 1/2 inch to 1-3/4 inches, and come in rectangular and square shapes. Shadow box frames can be displayed by either standing them on a table or hanging them on a wall.
There are countless shadowbox designs you can make – the only limitation is your own imagination. Here are a few suggestions for a 12×12 inch foam-backed shadow box frame with a 1-3/4 inch depth:
1. Athletic Medals: A collection of your child’s athletic medals or awards along with a few photos of the big event can spice any mantle up. Medals can either be stitched or hung in a shadow box frame.
2. Shell Collection: You can display your collection of small shells you collected from your various vacations. You can use push pins to act as supports to hold the shells or use glue to secure them.
3. Collections: From dried flowers to spoons, sports memorabilia, letter openers and key ring collections shadow box frames allow you to share your special collections with others.
4. News Items: You can frame your news clippings and share significant events in history like the election of a president, a new discovery or the passing of a famous individual.
5. Special Occasions: Special occasions like weddings, honeymoons and big trips call for a special way to remember them. You can save significant souvenirs, mementos, and items like receipts, airplane tickets, and other items that bring back memories of your special time.
6. Tributes: It could be a family member, a friend of yours, or even your pet. Store things that remind you of them the most. It could be a pet’s collar, a letter from a family member, an item from a memorial service – anything that reminds you of them.
7. Personal Acknowledgment Gift: A collection of someone’s personal achievements placed in a shadow box frame can make a wonderful gift. Put keepsakes that signify their accomplishments like a special award or military medals so they can be recognized for years to come.
Shadow box frames can also display flags, sports jerseys, unique dolls, and any other collectible items. And if you can’t find a shadowbox frame in the right size you can always have one custom made. Custom shadowbox frames let you specify the shape, design, color, and depth to your exact specifications.
Creating your own shadow box frames can really be a lot of fun once you get the hang of it.
