Hi everyone! I am so excited to share this simple Christmas DIY shadow box craft. This craft can be completed within 10 minutes and only takes a few materials. 


Materials such as mini campers, glitter, paint, and mini craft clothespins.

Materials Needed

- One Wood Shadow Box
Purchased at Michael's

-One set of Camper Ornaments 
I picked this up at my local Dollar Tree craft store

-Red bells

-Paint
Red, white, and green

-Greenery/pinecones

-Twine, or String

-Hot glue

-Scissors

-Red glitter
This is optional for the inside of your box

-Craft clothespins 
I used gold for my box



Creating your Shadow Box design

Start by painting the inside of your box red. The sides, top, and bottom of the inside will be painted white. Once you have painted the inside of your box, you can now paint the outside of your box. Start with painting the front outer section white.

Begin to paint the outside of your box green. The top, sides, and bottom of the outer sections of your box will be painted green.

Set your box aside, and allow it to completely dry. 

This step is completely optional, but once you have allowed your box to dry, you can add some red glitter to the back section that you have painted red.

Next, take your hot glue, and attach your camper to the inside of your box.  
After doing this, you can add your greenery and pinecone.

Take your craft clothespins, and add them to the front, top section of your box. One clothespin on each side of your box. Use some hot glue to add them.

Next, take your scissors, and cut off a strand of twine. You will want your strand of twine to be long enough to go from one clothespin to the other. 

Hands attaching twine to top of shadow box



Take some of your bells, and string them along the twine. Once you have done this, take the ends of your twine, gently open up the clothespins, and add the ends of the twine on both sides.

Once you have added on your bells your project is now complete. This was such a fun, and easy craft to create. I think this will look great added to a tray with other Christmas decorations. Let me know what you think in the comment section. Also if you have any questions about this craft, please let me know.

  9. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful beyond words! Now you've finally convinced me to make this cute 3D vision board. It will include the old VW camper (the one with round lights), rosemary and sage from Greece and a small fireplace. I'll let you know when the magic happens haha, maybe next new year we'll spend the new year baking potatoes on a small deserted beach in south Crete :)

Easy Steps to Create a Cozy Autumn Tablescape at Home

Hello everyone! I’m excited that you decided to visit the blog today. I wanted to share how to create a cozy autumn tablescape at home. My goal was to design something warm and inviting, as our table is a space where we share conversations, drink coffee, tackle homework, and simply enjoy each other’s company.  I typically don’t go all out when decorating my dining table, but I wanted to show you how I styled it using decor pieces I already had. I would love for you to join me in this decorating adventure! Watch the video tutorial Create a Cozy Autumn Tablescape at Home Items I'm adding to my table:  -White tablecloth runner - Battery-operated leaf lights  - Reusing glass jars  - Mini pumpkins and other fall decorations  - Small "Hello Fall" sign  - Faux flowers I began by spreading my white tablecloth down the center of the table. Around Halloween, I purchased this tablecloth a few years ago at my local Walmart. After laying it out, I realized that I could ...

How I Refreshed an Old Garden Statue with Paint (Easy Patio DIY)

This charming toad perched on his toadstool has been a beloved part of our patio for years, enduring the passage of time while gradually succumbing to the effects of sun and weather. With each season, he has faded a little more, losing some of his vibrant colors and details. Rather than allowing him to blend into the background and become just another forgotten decoration, I decided it was time to breathe new life into him.  Watch the Video Tutorial I shared the whole process in a quick YouTube Shorts video called “Watch Me Refresh This Old Garden Statue.” It’s a simple before‑and‑after, but such a satisfying one.  Materials I Used Garden statue (mine is a toad on a toadstool) Sandpaper Acrylic paints Small detail brushes Mod Podge (for sealing and protection) Sanding and Painting I began by gently sanding the statue to smooth out the chipped and faded paint. It only takes a few minutes, but it makes such a difference. Once the surface felt ready, I brought out my a...

Three Easy Candle Jar Ideas for Cozy Porch Décor

I've always thought there was something so comforting about soft candlelight, especially when it’s paired with a few simple faux florals and greenery. Today, I’m sharing a sweet little project in which I decorated a glass jar in three different ways. Each jar has its own personality, glow, and gentle charm. These pieces are perfect for porch décor, but they work beautifully anywhere you want to add a touch of warmth. I love projects like this—simple materials, quiet moments, and a finished piece that feels peaceful and handmade. Watch the Video Tutorial Materials I Used Clear glass jar Battery‑operated candle Faux string of pearls Faux succulents Faux vine Bright pink faux flowers (tops removed from stems) Yellow faux flowers Faux foliage Optional: woven mat or tray for display Jar 1: Succulents & String of Pearls For the first jar, I wanted something earthy and calming. I placed a faux string of pearls inside the jar and let it settle naturally. Around it, I tucked in a few fa...

How to Make Easy Beaded Wine Glass Charms

 I love creating small, simple crafts that add a personal touch to gatherings, and these wine glass charms were such a fun project. They’re easy to make, customizable, and perfect for parties, holidays, or even a cozy night in with friends. Each charm slips right onto the stem of a wine glass, making it easy for everyone to keep track of their drink. These charms come together quickly using beads, wire rings, and small metal pendants. You can mix and match colors and charms to fit any theme, and each one turns out a little different — which is part of the fun. Watch the video tutorial Materials Here’s what I used to make my wine glass charms: Wire rings Beads Small metal charms Jewelry pliers If your wire rings need trimming, use wire cutters—mine didn’t, so I didn’t need them for this project.  Choose your beads and charms Pick out the colors and shapes you want to use. I chose soft pinks, purples, and clear beads, along with heart, spiral, and flower charms. Each charm desig...

A Sweet Little Clay Trinket Dish Makeover

If you’re looking for a quick, beginner‑friendly craft, this hand‑painted clay trinket dish is such a sweet project. I’ll show you how to turn a simple clay blank into a petite floral dish with a glossy finish that’s perfect for holding rings, earrings, and tiny treasures. It’s a small DIY that comes together quickly and adds a charming, whimsical touch to any space. Watch the Video Tutorial Want to See the Process? I filmed the whole thing! You can watch the full painting process here: Materials I Used small clay trinket dish acrylic paint (green base + floral colors) fine detail brush gold paint Mod Podge (glossy) This dish started out completely plain. I love pieces like this because they’re basically a blank canvas, no pressure, just play. I chose a soft green base coat to give the florals something cozy and calm to sit on. Once the base was dry, I started building the design: stems and leaves first tiny pops of color for the flowers a thin black outline to make everything stand ou...
