Christmas Crafts: Dollar Tree DIY Shadow Box

[@carolyndaughton3373]

This is the absolute cutest idea! Thank you for sharing.

[@sheliaporter6795]

I LOVE this shadow box - beautiful! Thank you! ❤️

[@rosemaryhaight667]

I just love the shadow box and everything else you make. You are so creative and so talented. I have made so many of your crafts and here is another one I definitely have to make.⭐💖

[@DeeEll86442]

I have a great idea for this box for those that can’t find the lighted tree. What you do is purchase 2 of the tree pictures you are using for this. Glue one to the back of the box, then cut out the tree image from the second one and glue it on to a stiff piece of cardboard and cut around the tree image again. Then glue pieces or cork, foam, cardboard, etc.. to the back of the image. Anything that will make the tree stand out from the background image and will allow you to hide the light string under. Then poke holes in the tree pic where you would put lights on a tree. Then poke them through (but not all the way) only enough to see some light. Tape or glue the cords to the back of the tree and/or background to hide them. Then glue or tape your tree 🌲 to the background right over the background tree or even a little off to the side to make it look like several trees. You can also add tiny ornaments to the tree and background to give the whole box that three dimensional look. It really turn out GREAT! HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE! ⛄️🦌🎅🏻🤶🏻

Thank you for not blabbing about everything but the project. You are a breath of fresh air in the crafting video world that is SO ADORABLE. Im serious. You win the best craft award. Love it so much. I know itz 2019 but im hopin i can find the trees. I need to make a dozen for gifts.

[@annabellethedoll]

Girl I have been binge watching all your videos and I am OBSESSED! Can't wait to get started on all these diys 🤍❤🤍❤🤍❤

[@nonstopmom8185]

OK, now I'm obsessed. Just finished the 10th one. I used mostly Christmas cards as the back grounds so there is a scene in back. One is children looking in toy store window on the back wall then I "fussy cut" (if you quilt you know the words) more children and put them closer to the front of the box so it is 3D. I cut a tree in half and put on the side - decorated with a glitter that makes it look like Christmas balls. Wish I could post a picture, really cute.

[@elizabethgregg1925]

So glad to have you back!

[@TwilightSunXXIV]

That's way too cute. Going to make a few with my grandkids to give to their parents. Thank you. 😊

[@robynwilliams6185]

[@almacasiano]

great project ! I could see all different kinds of adorable little scenes in these boxes ! they would make great gifts as well, thank you for shaing

[@galememeeof6688]

Such a clever idea for Christmas. I love having the lights down low and then the pretty colorful lights fill the room with the joy of Christmas.

[@ThisSouthernGirlCan]

Thank you so much! I like dimming the lights too. :)

[@sherrysmith8175]

Love the light up picture frames & the shadow boxes These will make cute Christmas gifts

[@ThisSouthernGirlCan]

Thank you so much! Yes, they will make awesome gifts!

[@latoyasea8258]

You always have paint on your hands!!! It lets us know you are always working on something new to inspire us with!!

[@spanisheyez6930]

Very cute idea. It would be cute with some glitter on the trees in the background. SPARKLE.. Love it.

[@patschomann7338]

What a cute idea! Can't wait to try this. It would look cute and cozy on a shelf, a mantle or on a night stand. What a wonderful craft for the Holidays or beyond! Thanks for sharing.

[@geegibbs]

You completely rock. This is the cutest craft I have ever seen from the Dollar Tree!

[@milliehernandez5050]

Really cute together and great job on the shadow box with the Christmas tree and snow man too thanks for your time and effort I really admire your work

[@elisepelletier9474]

Looks so much more than dollar store stuff.. So many variations you can make from this!

[@norahanne7133]

I really like your shadow box . And I like how you described the steps to make it thank you.

[@purdy6997]

My granddaughter and I made these this morning. We love them! She's only 10 and this was super easy, so she was able to do her own. I just worked the glue gun. She is very proud of it! Thanks for the idea.

[@ThisSouthernGirlCan]

You’re very welcome!

[@marlenejones6266]

Its nice to hear grands having a grandma who will craft with them. I would love to see her shadow box somehow. Tell her i said great job

[@ladonnaskuza6655]

Love the things you make.what a good little Christmas gifts. Would take no time to do . Thank you

[@peachiepeachie]

Thank gosh for crafty and creative ppl!

[@AvaT42]

I love the things you make. They are so simple to do, you explain your self so well and the end product is lovely.

[@sandramika6710]

So very cute !!! I make shadow boxes but they are made with wood, I really like this idea with the tin.

[@darylturcott]

Job detail was great .very nice detail .love the fact u weren't happy with the snowman top holes , this is what we like to see all in the details , I encourage, -supply rechargeable duracell......they last for years .

[@erikabott9209]

How awesome I guess you never to old to learn 76 years young I will try to make it 👍😉 thanks

[@riverratrvr9225]

Me too lady! Happy holidays!

[@tericompton1106]

You can put snow on snowman hat. You can add an extra hole on bottom to reach tree switch. Also you can use the plug from the snowman to put into cut hole to protect from tin w/o having to use tape.

[@mommygarcia9137]

Super creative !! Would have never thought to use that tin for a shadow box !! Great diy !!

[@BrianBigfootBeliever]

Amber Hun, Thank You for sharing this craft idea. You are such A Blessing.👍👍👍👍👍🙅🙅🙅

[@angelareed2152]

You are my absolute favorite of the DIYers on KZbin.

[@ThisSouthernGirlCan]

Thank you so much for the kind words! I really do appreciate it.

[@donnabankstahl2457]

Awesome❤️❤️❤️❤️I am definitely going to make one of these for all 11 grandchildren! Thanks so much for sharing your creativity with all of us! Hugs from Fl😘

[@monicavillarreal636]

I love this. I had no problem with using a regular hot glue gun. I just let the glue cool a tiny bit before putting the wire on it. I also added a loop of ribbon inside the lid to easily remove the lid. I also picked up the color version of the lights and they are so much better. I’m going to paint the white ones blue to tone them down. I also chose to use fabric for the background and cut out pictures from Christmas cards to create the background. I put some of the lights under the snow and the lumps look like snow hills. Thanks!!

[@angelafrancione3417]

I absolutely love watching your videos. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful craftiness with me!!

[@jacqulyne1282]

Wow!! That is adorable. I will be making several of these this Christmas. Thank you for a great tutorial.

[@anitawilson4622]

I love shadow boxes. OMG that is amazingly beautiful. thank you for sharing.

[@ThisSouthernGirlCan]

Thank you so much for liking it!

[@ThisSouthernGirlCan]

If you find that removing the lid to turn the tree on and off is difficult, then steer away from this craft. It takes 2 seconds to remove the lid. If you leave the battery pack inside the box, it takes up entirely too much space! It will make the 'snow' in the bottom of the box lumpy, uneven, and won't allow for very many decorations. If you glue the tree down, then you cannot change the batteries later. I made 3 of these boxes before I settled on a method for the video. I do things for a reason.

[@rebeccaswain4170]

Very good job!!!!

[@mr.beachwalker7154]

Great job. very well done and at a low cost

[@treswilliams7063]

Glue the tree down and cut out a spot in the can to turn your tree on and off. That is a very cute idea.

[@chistinebinning6768]

This Southern Girl Can first time watching your show. Love this project! Gives me an idea to do with my grandsons! Thank you so much, for sharing this. I have also subscribed to your posts. Merry Christmas and God Bless!

[@armainaldaco7593]

[@jillrademacher7642]

Oh my gosh, this is so cute. When I look into the box at the tree changing colors it reminds me of the movie, "How the Grinch Stole Christmas". The part where everyone hold hands and sings.

I love this! I actually already have the little tree. I am also pleased to know that Dollar Tree has the snow blanket. Those have been around since I was a child. My teachers in school always Incorporated them in classroom decorations. I have not seen them at my Dollar Tree, but I will be looking this year. I am recently retired and plan on making most of my gifts this year. You are really helping me out!

Hay Ms Amber Really love all your tutorials, you have so much talent. I especially liked this video with the Christmas Crafts.

Born & raised in South Carolina. Moved to Maryland due to husbands job but we will (hope) move back to SC upon retirement. Take care sweetie and continue showing us how it's done. 'YOU GOT THIS'
