Mini Holiday Shadow Box with Perfect Paints
Hello everyone, Becky here! As we dive into the final months of the year, I can't help but feel a rush of excitement. The holiday season brings a sense of warmth and joy, and for me, it’s the perfect time to embrace creativity through DIY projects.
Today, I want to share with you a delightful journey that begins with a simple trip to the Dollar Store. With a few acrylic colors and texture mediums from Perfect Paints, we can transform these budget-friendly finds into charming holiday decor that will surely brighten your home.
Join me as we explore this fun and rewarding process, and let’s make this holiday season one to remember!
For this project you will need:
a wooden box from your local dollar store
Ceramic snowman
miniature fir tree
Wooden snowflakes
thread
Paint
49 & Market Nature Study - Fusion
Perfect Paints White Stucco
Perfect Paints Polishing Plaster in Jack Frost
Perfect Paints Shimmering Matte Acrylic in Halo
For starters I purchased the wooden box, tree and snowman at my local dollar store. The snowflake I had left over from another project.
We will start by cutting the background for the box out of the 49 & Market Nature Study cardstock. Any background will do. I really loved this subtle print.
Paint the snowman with Perfect Paints Shimmering Matte Acrylic in Halo as well as some basic black paint for the hat. Set him aside to dry.
Now we can use the Perfect Paints White Stucco and Polishing Plaster by layering it along the base of the box. We want it to look like snow drifts so the more the better. I used the polishing plaster as a high light. Hot glue the tree and the snowman down into the plaster. Once they have dried good then I piled the plaster along the base of the snowman and tree.
Now it is time to paint the snowflakes. I used the Shimmering Matte Halo on both sides.
Once these have dried, take a little bit of thread and tie around one side. This will then be taped to the top of the box. I used tape so that I could adjust the length just right. Add some details to the snowman and call it a day!
And there we have it. A super cute display to add to any shelf or desk. Made totally from little finds, items around the house and the amazing products from Perfect Paints!!
Happy crafting,
Becky
