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.

Just a quick trip to your local craft or hobby shop will show you the many kinds of empty shadow boxes available. You will be astounded at the array of sizes. There are many kinds of boxes also, pick the one to best fill you need. A small box can be used in the bathroom, or atop your desk. Just keep where you are going to display and look for bigger sizes for the big spaces in your home.

Find what style you like.

Golf is a great subject for a shadow box. You might want to craft it for yourself or someone you would like for them to have a personalized gift. Some ideas could be: old driver covers, some indoor-outdoor green carpet, maybe some sand and a ball would create a beautiful accent for the den or office.

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.

Pet themed shadow boxes are a great project and a excellent addition to the pet lovers home furnishings. Paw prints and dog bones, or some of your cat's favorite toys arranged in a whimsical way let people see that you love the four legged members of your family.

How about a Hawaiian theme for the bedroom? Add some sand, a miniature palm tree, and a lei. Miniature footballs, basketballs or small baseball bats at your local craft store help build a sports themed box.

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.
