So, I’m s*l*o*w*l*y* getting into crafting. I aim for easy crafts that are cute and don’t take too much time…this one hit the nail right on the head!

Materials Needed:

• Shadow Box Frame (I got mine at Michaels, they’re sold in 3-packs for $19.99 but be sure to use a coupon!)
• Mod Podge
• Foam brush
• Tongue depressor or credit card (for smoothing out bubbles)
• Craft Paper
• Scissors
• Jingle Bells (I used 20mm, 18mm, 15mm, 12mm, and 8mm bells)
• Jingle all the Way vinyl from CC Vinyl
• Ribbon

Jingle All the Way Shadow Box Instructions

Step 1: Take the backing off of the shadow box and peel away any pre-packaged paper (if applicable).

Step 2: Using a foam brush, spread a layer of Mod Podge over the cardboard backing.

Step 3: Trim the craft paper (if needed) and place it on top of the wet mod podge. Use a credit card or tongue depressor to smooth out any air bubbles. Allow to dry and set for 20-30 minutes.

Step 4: Spread a thin layer of mod podge over the craft paper to seal it. Allow it to dry completely for 20-30 minutes.

Step 5: Pour the jingle bells into the shadow box, and assemble to cardboard backing to the frame.

Step 6: Affix the vinyl lettering (I got mine from CC Vinyl) to the frame (feel free to re-position the words how you’d like them). I find using a credit card or tongue depressor to press the vinyl onto the glass through the layer of contact paper makes peeling the contact paper from the vinyl a lot easier.

Step 7: Tie a bow around the frame and you’re done!
