Kathy,

Nope, no glass involved. The way I built it, there was no way to use a piece of glass, no way to hold it in place. It’s basically an “open” shelf.

good luck, have fun!

Heather,

I’m sorry to have confused you. There is no glass involved in the making of this shadow box. The front is open where you can freely add whatever you want or change it out.

Thanks so much for stopping by, I hope you have fun making your own shadow box.

Thank you Suzann! I love making shadow boxes out of old picture frames.

Thank you so much Julie.
The one at the top was for hanging d rings, and the one a the bottom is so that it would hang correctly on the wall.

As for the weight, if you had heavy duty d rings and install on studs, or use wall anchors, I’m sure it could hold almost anything that would fit on the shelf.

I can’t wait to hear about your project!

Deann,

I sell most of my items for around 40-60 dollars. Never going to get rich doing what I do, but I sure do love sharing HOW to do it with other people. I’ve often seen other people make shadow box coffee tables with windows, but I’ve always felt that’s just an accident looking for a place to happen.
