We were inspired by Teach Preschool's Post: Our Nature shadowboxes in preschool to make our Autumn Treasures Shadow Box. It was so easy to make and it was a neat way to collect natural items..... which all kids love. Keep reading to find out how to make one!
We added a string/yarn and it was ready to hang! Such a fun, simple and lovely project. Hope you enjoy! What a splendid Autumn decoration or for anytime.
a shoe box lid
white glue
natural items
glitter for fun
yarn for hanging
First, put about a half inch or so of glue (or a little less) in the lid of a shoe box lid. Next, place your natural items in the glue and then sprinkle with a touch of glitter. Then let dry flat for a day or two.
After about two days this is the result. I think it is beautiful.... The glue seals the leaves and other natural items into the box frame and it dries clear.
