When my good friend Judy came to visit last fall, she brought me the cutest little shadow box and I do mean little! It measures a mere 2 1/2" X 2 1/2". Although I looked at it many times during Christmas, I never quite figured out what to display in it. But I knew just what to do with it last week!
Isn't it the cutest little shadow box? All it took to inspire me was a 30% off sale and a gift card to Hobby Lobby where I found the sweetest little heart shaped buttons.
I opened the shadow box and put the buttons in...........
Nice, but needs a little something to set it off a little don't ya think?
I trimmed down some washi tape to fit and stuck it right on the frame.
Now you know my favorite thing about this project is that after Valentine's Day is over, the tape peels right off, the buttons come out and it's ready for a new makeover. For now though, I'm enjoying it just the way it is!
Thank you Judy.....I love this little shadow box!

What a clever idea ! I would never have thought of buttons ;-) Those clear hearts {is it glass?} are so pretty and dainty as well!
ReplyDeleteThat is absolutely darling! -Marci @ Stone Cottage Adventures
ReplyDeleteGreat use of the washi tape. It is the most versatile craft supply. Love the tiny hearts. Shamrocks next?
ReplyDeleteThat is so original, Danni, love eet! Also, please promise me you will make some jewelry out of those filigree buttons - they cry out to be worn!
ReplyDeleteYou know I love buttons and this is a great way to show those adorable heart ones off! There's something about shadow boxes that seems secretive and a display item at the same time.
ReplyDeleteVery adorable indeed!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is so darling!! I can definitely see it becoming a miniature theme piece with all the holidays :)
ReplyDeleteVery cute. I wanted to make the hinged frame you made over Christmas but couldn't find a hinged frame yet.
ReplyDeleteThat's so cute! So many mini possibilities!! I love that the dismantling has already been planned!! ;)

ReplyDeleteI love the shaw down box. I love washi tape for the fact that you can peel it off and use your item for something else. Great job!
