Find The Right Shadow Box

It's very simple to go shopping online and find the shadow box you want. Finding the best deal on them is another story of course. Many people choose to create their own and I understand why, but unless you have experience with that type of stuff you might want to wait it out.

Most shadow boxes range from $15-$50 dollars, but because there are so many styles it's hard to put a good average price on them. You can pick them up at major retailers like Target or Michaels. If you have one of these stores near you, then you can just go there and pick it up to avoid any shipping charges. Being able to browse their selection online first wouldn't hurt.

Make sure you call them and find out if they have them in stock.

Shadow Boxes

Shadow boxes are great for displaying everything from your favorite pictures, to your awards, metals or any kind of antiques you would like to display.

They are easy to hang and don't require any special knowledge in order to get them setup and going.

They are usually made of wood, and can come in basic wood colors but also pretty much any color you can think of.

They aren't hard to make for yourself if you are into arts and crafts, or just saving money.

They are also very popular for military type who like to have flags, medals, awards and and different types of goals they achieved in their service with the military.

A lot of times shadow boxes will be given as a present or show of appreciation from one person to someone else and because you can tell a lot of thought went into it, they are usually very well received. Use spiral staircase plans to build your own stairs.
