Here's a classy way to showcase souvenirs from life's important milestones in an eye-catching display
If you tend to keep objects that hold memories of a special person, place, or moment, there’s a good chance those mementos will end up boxed away out of sight or stuffed onto an overcrowded shelf. There’s only so much stuff you can accumulate!
Shadow boxes are a great way to give those precious items the spotlight they deserve, all the while protecting them from dust.
The following tips will help you create a dynamic personal display that can be changed as often as desired.
The key to any great display is editing – the less cluttered it is, the more importance each item will hold. Not sure where to start? Choose items by theme and colour palette.
Create an interesting display with items of different scale and texture. A few amber pieces look more interesting next to woven spillers than next to something similar like pebbles.
If you have a lot of items you want to display, buying 10 shadow boxes will just defeat the purpose. Commit to creating a new display a few times a year; that way you can reminisce while creating each new collection, and really enjoy each display while it’s out!
