The finished Handmade Christmas Display. All of the pieces have been completed and here is the final project.<\/p>\n

\"Handmade<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Using an old wooden wine box I painted the inside with white gesso. Glued the painted chipboard trees to the back. Added texture paste and glitter.<\/p>\n

Glued the 3D trees in place on the right side with Hot Glue.<\/p>\n

The Sleigh is glued in place on the right with hot glue. There is just enough space under the sleigh for the controller for the LED lights.<\/p>\n

The acrylic reindeer were glued in place using E6000 glue.<\/p>\n

Once all of the items were glued in place I started winding the lights in place. The LED controller was placed under the sleigh. Stuffing made for toys or pillows I placed tufts here and there to represent snow. There are small fibers in iridescent along the bottom of the display as well.<\/p>\n

This display box will have a piece of glass added to it when I can get over to my brothers stained glass shop. The glass will help keep dust out. It will also help with storage so that nothing falls into the box.<\/p>\n

On top of the box is a greenery pick from the Christmas decorations department. I placed some of the tiny packages and some of the stuffing inside the greenery.<\/p>\n

The display turned out just the way I wanted. I love how it looks and I’m glad it is complete. It has inspired me to make other shadow box displays. Looking at boxes in a different way. Now I see boxes and try to see how I can alter them to make a shadow box.<\/p>\n
