DIY Shadow Box/Frame

mini shadow box i made with scrapbooking paper:
I used scrap-booking paper that had a pattern on both sides to make this one to house a little brass Buddha.





I made this one from card stock to frame an ATC.



Here is how I made the frame for the ATC: 

I cut a piece of card stock down to 5" x 6"

I make 4 score lines, 1/4" apart on each side. On the long side I cut the edges flush with the innermost scored line of the short sides. As for the short sides: the innermost 1/4" gets cut flush with the score line of the long side; the next 1/4" gets cut at an angle; the next two 1/4" sections get cut up from the angle, taking 1/4" off. 


This is what you end up with! Have fun and feel free to contact me with any questions!

I picked this up at Jo Anne's with a 40% off coupon and I am pleasantly surprised at how fun and easy it is to use.


Check out some of the bracelets I made with it! I decided to make matching buttons from polymer clay for clasps.
