{DIY HOLIDAY WEEK: winter scene shadow boxes}

December 4, 2013 by TheSweetEscape 2 Comments

Sweet escape DIY holiday projects

DIY winter scene shadow box decor

I just can’t get enough of the mini winter village elements I found at the dollar store and have another DIY idea on how to use them in your holiday decor. They are just tiny enough to squeeze into a shadow box which makes them into instant pieces of holiday art. How cute are they? You will definitely impress your guests with the one that actually lights up. 

I found all the materials at Dollarama – dollar stores just keep blowing me away. Make sure the items you pick are slim enough to fit in a shadow box or you’re kinda out of luck.

      I’m so sorry, I left out a photo with the materials, which I’ve updated. I found fake snow at the dollar store. It would also look great to use the larger confetti size pieces of glitter.
