Mini Succulent Shadowbox (rerun)

originally posted 9/1/16:

I love how this little shadow box turned out and it was another simple, quick, fun project - my favorite kind!



Supplies:

  • small paper maché rectangle box 2" x 3.25", without the lid
  • small matted frame 3.5"x 4.5"overall with 2"x 3" opening, remove the glass and back
  • small artificial succulent
  • craft paint and brush
  • hot glue, clear craft glue

Paint the inside of the paper maché box, I did 2 coats, let dry. Hot glue the small succulent to a bottom corner of the box. Using clear craft glue, attach the mat to the front edges of the box creating the shadowbox effect, then glue the mat to the frame. Easy!

I just squeezed some paint into the box
and brushed it around using a small foam
paintbrush - a little lazy, yes :)


Got the idea for this project here
