My only issue is cedar is too unique to paint.I used a simple 1/4inch plywood for backing.I’m going to place cork board on it ….I stained frame inside and out to blend with the gold on my frame.To each his /her own. mine is in my pallet project Kem Grant.
I knew exactly what you were talking about with ripping the tongue off one side and the groove off the other so that the front looked perfect! I’m not a perfectionist but it drives me batty when things aren’t ‘even’, lol!
your a counter too like me and i love even numbers also. so weird we are but good
SEE!? TOLD you I was scrolling through old posts (lol). I have SO MANY of your projects bookmarked Gail, and this is another one. This shadow box frame is FABULOUS. I just hope I live long enough to DO all the projects from “Gail’s files!” Thanks so VERY much for the tutorials you post…you make everything sound so DO-able! You’re a GEM…and my very favourite “go-to” blog!
Was, that was a great tutorial, what a great idea!!

Thanks so much for stopping by and introducing yourself, Gail! It led me to your ADORABLE blog and all your creative and fabulous ideas! I’m loving this shadow box, and can’t wait to find the perfect frame to make one for myself! New follower 🙂

Great tutorial Gail! I can see how glazing that would have been a major pain! The overall project turned out awesome!
And on the teabag side of th is post. I use my teabags for many of those purposes. My brother is a wielder and way back when we shared an apartment together. He would come home and his eyes were so red and swollen. I told him to lay down and applied cool tea bags to his eyes and he does this now almost nightly even after 20 years.
Thanks Gail for the tutorial on how to make the shadow boxes. I think it turned out great! I am going to have to try this one of these days. Can’t wait to see what the finished product looks like. You do great work! Thanks for sharing and have a great day! ~ Laura
Love the shadow box and the tutorial. Honestly, I can see the problem with trying to glaze that baby — too many directions and not a lot of room to work. That must have been tricky. Love the tutorial and I think I might actually be able to replicate this one! ‘o)
Very cool idea! Thanks for sharing. We really do live and learn when it comes to techniques, don’t we!!

This is such a great idea! I love how you transformed that frame into a shadowbox! It turned out SO good. 🙂
Have a wonderful day!!
Thanks so much for posting that Gail… I am definitely making one of them… I am on the lookout for a frame… hmmm, Rose had a ton of them… I see another trip in my future… lol.
Have a great day and thanks for the tips for tea bags… I always use a warm tea bag on a sore that won’t heal… within minutes it is already showing signs of healing.
Hugs, Deb
That is a great tutorial. Very clear pictures that anyone should be able to easily follow.
Looks great, I can smell the cedar from here!
You never cease to amaze me! Your shadow box is awesome. I had a laugh at the tea bag uses…it brought back memories of me as a kid, I suffered alot with allergies and my grandmother would make me sit with a damp tea bag on my allergy eyes. It did feel nice…love the fingernail repair idea, definately gonna try that one! Thanks for sharing. ~Stacey
