Would you like to make one or more rooms in your house a reflection of you? But, where to start? I will tell you a great way, that won't break your budget, to give a touch of your personality to your home.
A great home decorating tip is to build in the style of your room a shadow box. After you get the hang of it you might could even bring in some extra dough making them for other people. How do you make a conversation piece out of an ordinary box? I will share some empty shadow box ideas.
To begin you need to decide what size.
Simply run down to your local hobby or craft store to see the dozens of empty shadow boxes available. The choices can be a bit overwhelming. Just keep in mind where you are going to display your box and pick the best one for your new craft. For instance the bathroom usually requires only a small box. A small box can be used on top of a desk. The opposite is true also, look for bigger sizes to fill large spaces.
Figure out what style is needed.
You can make a box for yourself, or give a gift personalized to a friend or loved one. Golf is a excellent theme for a personal gift. You could include inside some indoor-outdoor putting carpet, a ball and sand, and some old driver covers. This would make a great conversation piece for a home office space.
In your kitchen, some dried or silk flowers and fruit in your shadow box will create a bountiful harvest feel. A smaller version would fit well in your bathroom areas.
A great way for animal lovers to show how they feel is a pet themed shadow box craft added to their home. Dog bones, paw prints or maybe some of your cat's toys arranged cleverly in your box will show how much you care for the four legged members of your home.
Like sports? How about adding some miniature basketballs, baseball bats, or footballs available at your local craft store. For the bedroom you might like a Hawaiian theme. Some sand, a miniature palm tree and a lei would create a Hawaiian project.
Add personality to your home. Simply go to your local hobby store where a little imagination and a few supplies can turn into a beautiful conversation piece for you. Or make some for other people to pick up some extra dough.
