I still need to make one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questions-about-making-a-shadow-box#post-1491339 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 10:57:03 +0000 MaryM 1491339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I received one for my wedding like @ChillyBear described that has a magnetic door and a mat that could take pins. I think pins would be best. </p> <p>And I love the magnetic door because I've added some things to it and it's much easier than having to take the whole thing apart. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questions-about-making-a-shadow-box#post-1491329 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 10:55:19 +0000 Cole 1491329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I made one with wedding things and I used pins. It was a Martha Stewart brand shadow box and came with T shaped pins. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questions-about-making-a-shadow-box#post-1491179 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 10:17:43 +0000 Chillybear 1491179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used a box i got at homegoods that has a magnetic door and a puffy fabric background.... I used colored pearl head straight pins i can post a picture tonight.... I also used a really large one that was purchased at michael's with a felt covered cardboard as the background and did the same thing for a work project displaying a costume </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questions-about-making-a-shadow-box#post-1491111 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 10:03:16 +0000 snowjewelz 1491111@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oo anyone want to post pics of theirs? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questions-about-making-a-shadow-box#post-1491070 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 09:54:03 +0000 twinmama 1491070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought the cream shadow boxes from pottery barn or pb kids, can't remember which. They were around $50 each I think, but had coupons. I used pins, like the kind for sewing with the little colored balls on the head. I really like how the pins look and they hold even the shirts and hats without a problem. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questions-about-making-a-shadow-box#post-1491066 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 09:52:55 +0000 mrswin 1491066@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: Push pins would work for the outfit for sure. Other stuff you can decided whether hot glue or double sided tape is best depending on how "heavy" it is. I did this with a bunch of stuff from our wedding </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questions-about-making-a-shadow-box#post-1491053 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 09:48:20 +0000 Ash 1491053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got one as a wedding gift and they used pins. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questions-about-making-a-shadow-box#post-1491046 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 09:46:17 +0000 lawbee11 1491046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Leialou: Ooh good point about stuff falling with the tape. I want to put her coming home outfit in it, though, so I don't really want to hot glue it. But I don't know if push pins would work... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questions-about-making-a-shadow-box#post-1490955 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 09:21:35 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1490955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH made one for me with stuff from our engagement. He used a 8x10 sized box that he got from Hobby Lobby. I think he used double sided tape. Some of the stuff fell, so I recommend hot glue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questions-about-making-a-shadow-box#post-1490891 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 09:07:13 +0000 MrsH 1490891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used an 8 by 8. Bought at hobby lobby and secured with hot glue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questions-about-making-a-shadow-box#post-1490883 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 09:06:14 +0000 lawbee11 1490883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want to make a shadow box with a bunch of LO's stuff from the hospital. If you've ever made a shadow box...</p> <p>(1) What size did you use?<br /> (2) Where did you buy it?<br /> (3) How did you secure the items? (Double-sided tape, hot glue, pins?)</p> <p>Thanks! </p>
