Photo Shelves

I’ve had these shadow box shelves sitting around the house for a while and had some printable canvas, so decided to add photos to them. These photo shelves could hang on the wall, be stacked on a table or used as a key shelf by a door. They would be nice painted black with sepia-toned photos. It occurred to me as I was taking pictures that you could make an adjustable doll house with these wooden boxes by backing each one with fabric or patterned paper. They’re just the right size for this.

Supplies:

  • Wooden shadow boxes (paint them if you want)
  • Printable canvas (from the office supply store)
  • Computer and printer
  • Scissors
  • Staple gun

Measure the outside of the wooden frame. Using Photoshop or other photo program, adjust your photos to size and print on canvas cloth. Be sure to cut out space for hangers on frames. Staple to frame with staple gun. That’s it!

  1. What a cute idea! I think I’m going to have to get myself some shadow boxes to make a few of those for myself.
