Shadow Box

It has been a while, I know. I did make something recently that I thought deserved to go on this blog. My son recently received his Arrow of Light award with Cub Scouts and is now moving on to Boy Scouts. I have seen others do a shadow box, so I thought I will try.


It was easier than I thought. The shadow box (15"x15") was on sale (thank goodness) at Pictures Plus (for those of you who live in Hawaii). I gathered his awards and badges. I did strip his shirt. There are some badges that will go on his scout uniform, so those few items, I did go to the scout store and buy another so that I had one for the shadow box.This is what we came up with in the end. So this is before everything is glued down.

These are actually everything he got. I couldn't fit his day camp badges in there. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with these.


Tyler was very happy about it. I won't take full credit for it though. Randy did help with arranging it. There were pins on the right side, but I decided to take them out. Those were my mother's pins. Not sure yet what I'll do with those. What I think would actually be awesome is to have a huge shadow box where I can fit everything including his cars and arrow of light award. We'll see.
