My First Shadowbox-Update

[Nesspin12]

This is my attempt at my first shadow box display. I have the background already (part of it can be seen in this picture at the bottom left). I should be receiving the last of the 4 pins that I will place in the display shortly. Once I receive the pins, I will complete the display and post for opinions. This is the first basic bare bones minimum draft.

Thanks I already aligned the pins in place against the background that I will use. I plan on decorating the outside of the box using a few comic book exclamations and other decorations.

Wow that looks really nice

Thank you Disxar

Very nice Frame!!!!

 

[Nesspin12]

Thank you siberiaya. I have the last 4 pins coming, so it will finally be finished. I do not know if I will add to the outside of the frame, or just leave it as is.

Do you mind sharing how you did this? I'm a noob and would love to make small shadow boxes to display them around my house.

Michaels has a pretty nice size shadow box for $20 this week, down from $50.

Do you find that the glass takes away from the pins? I tried framing once a small cram but they looked washed out.
yours look amazing though.

Dear anzaryaa,
The pins actually look nice behind the glass, but the glass on my shadowboxes are not too thick. I have a few PODMs framed, but need to add the lights. I will be posting my completed shadowboxes once I get the lights for the PODM pins. I get my shadowboxes from Michael's Craft store. Thank you for the compliment.

My first completed shadow box along with my most wanted grail in a simple shadowbox design (will change this at a later time).
