Supplies Needed for Shadow Box Display:
- Wood Box or Tray
- Wood Piece to fit inside box
- Spray paint or Acrylic Craft Paint
- Doodlecraft Patterned Vinyl (Calligraphy and Watercolor Wash Sunset)
- 1 inch Blocks (or something to use as a riser)
- E6000 Glue
Step 1: Paint and Sand
Begin by preparing your surfaces.
Paint the shadow box or tray and the inside wood piece.
After the paint dries, gently sand the edges.
Step 2: Calligraphy
Cut out the adhesive vinyl and then apply it to the smaller wood piece.
The calligraphy phrases are all about 4x6 inches, so it's easy to find pieces that size.
Step 3: Shadow Box Background
Cut a piece of vinyl to fit the inside of the shadow box or tray.
Then peel the backing and place it inside.
Step 4: Block Risers
Use a hobby knife to cut off pieces of the vinyl where the risers will attach.
This way the blocks can glue directly to the wood tray and not compromise the adhesive vinyl over time.
Then use the E6000 glue to adhere the small wood blocks or scrap wood to the tray.
Space them apart so the board on top will be balanced, yet the blocks underneath wont show.
Just experiment with the placement without the glue to start.
Once you decide the optimal placement, cut the backing and glue them in place.
Then put some E6000 glue on the top of the blocks.
Place the wood calligraphy piece on top of the blocks.
There's a little workable time with the E6000, so slide it around so it's perfectly lined up.
Then let the glue dry completely while it is laying flat.
That's it!
