Ticket Stub Shadowbox

Pinterest was the source of this great DIY! I found a pin for Foursided, a company that sells these great shadowboxes, but instead of purchasing one, I wanted to see if I could do it myself. I think it turned out pretty sweet!


This was a ridiculously easy project that took about an hour, maybe less. I bought the shadowbox from Michael's on sale for $12. I had the background paper already and designed and printed out the {admit one} label on regular paper.

Step by step:

1. Take off back of shadowbox and cut a slot at the top. I had originally wanted to cut a slot in the top of the box like the ones from Foursided, but my box was plastic and it would have cracked. The boyfriend cleverly suggested this alternative. :)


2. Cut paper to dimensions needed to cover the entire back of the shadowbox.


3. Secure paper with hot glue and be sure to overlap the slot opening with the paper for a seamless look.


4. Reattach the back to the rest of the shadowbox and remove the stray hot glue strands.


5. Fill with your ticket stubs and enjoy!



Overall a very easy project and a great way to keep all those ticket stubs and memories of fun times!
