Home Decorating Tip - Empty Shadow Box Ideas  

How do you make a room in your house or office a reflection of you? Where do you start? There is a quick and easy way, that won't take a bite out of your wallet, to add a very personal, beautiful touch to your furnishings.

One great home decorating tip is with a customized shadow box to the style of your rooms. Once you get this art down you could even make some extra cash building boxes for others. To make a centerpiece out of an ordinary box, I will give you some empty shadow box ideas.

First you need to pick your 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.

A great way for animal lovers to show how they feel is a pet themed shadow box craft added to their home. Dog bones, paw prints or maybe some of your cat's toys arranged cleverly in your box will show how much you care for the four legged members of your home.

How about a sports themed box? Simply add some footballs, basketballs or miniature baseball bats from your local craft store. An Hawaiian theme would be great for your bedroom. A miniature palm tree, a lei and some sand would help make up this craft.

When you are itching for a new project to add personality to your home. Run down to your local craft store. A little imagination and a few supplies can turn into a beautiful masterpiece for you, or grab some extra cash building on for others.
