Materials:shadow box
sprig of pink cherry blossoms
one sprig vintage aqua forget me nots
vintage white lily of the valley
one sprig of palest pink floral sprig
17 inch length of antique paper lace from Germany
glue gun or craft glue
colored background paper such as wrapping paper or scrapbooking paper
small length of ribbon
Remove the back of the shadow box. Cut paper lace in 4 lengths--two lengths which will fit the length of the box and 2 for the width. We found clipping the corners at an angle, then placing these corners together when gluing looked best.Using craft glue or glue gun, glue paper lace along the edge of the lid (See Scan 2.)
Cut a piece of pretty paper to accent the back board of the frame. Wrapping paper, scrapbooking paper, even fabric will work. Glue in place and then accent with white lily of the valley , pink sprigs, cherry blossoms and forget me nots as shown in Scan 3. Tie a pretty bow in an accenting color and glue into place at the base of the bouquet.
Finally, place into frame and lock closed. Now it's ready to hang or for gift giving! (Scan 4).
