Monkey Shadow Box

by 20 Comments

I rarely buy presents anymore for Wedding’s or Baby Showers.  Instead, I give what I love to do most,  create unique and personalized gifts for the special occasion like this DIY Monkey Shadow Box I created  for a neighbor who’s  having a baby.

If I come to your house and seem a little nosy or ask a lot of questions, , I’m just checking out your colors so I can create the best personalized project I can make of you.   Just like this Monkey Shadow Box for my friend who happens to have a Monkey Nursery Theme, her walls are painted light green and also has green gingham ribbon on the walls holding up pictures.   See, I told you I was nosy!  Observant really.

After all my dies were cut out and assembled, I adhered it inside a 12 x 12 Shadow box. using foam squares.     I also  added some more details on the Monkey using a  Dot embossing folder, and Black Stickles . My friend loved her personalized gift and I was so happy to be able to create it for her too.
