1. Post major news events that touched your life. Maybe you or a family member had their achievement headlined in the newspaper. You could protect and share your news clippings in a shadow box frame along with other meaningful tokens.

2. Do you have a treasured collection hidden away in a box? Any small collectibles go nicely in a shadow box frame and will help protect your collection from dust and damage. This could be a collection of political pins, letter openers, spoons or just about any other small collectible.

3. Are you a gardener who wants to enjoy your flowers year round? Save those beautiful blooms by drying them and displaying them in a shadow box. Enjoy your garden indoors with a dried flower display that will blend with any decor.

4. You can proudly display athletic accomplishments whether they’re your medals or your kids. Medals and ribbons shouldn’t be hidden away in a box but should be displayed proudly.

5. Are you a beachcomber? You can show off those beautiful shells you have collected over the years. A shell collection in a shadow box frame will bring a smile to your face when you reflect back to all of the special memories of the ocean.

6. Have you collected sports memorabilia from a specific team or event? Show off your team spirit with a shadowbox frame display. How about a musical event, show or concert you went to? If you collected items from a favorite musician, protect them and display these fun keepsakes in a shadow box frame.

A shadow box frame is a great way to display and protect any photos and keepsakes that are important to you. If it is special enough for you to save and collect it, don’t hide it away. Display your mementos and memories in a shadow box so you can be regularly reminded of those special times.
