Today’s project is my project from last night’s Weekly Wednesday Facebook Live – a Christmas Ornament with a Shadow Box!
Here’s a closer look at the ornament:
I’d like to give credit to Samantha Clayton (mixedupcraft.com) who originally designed this ornament. Her tutorial includes a shadow box for 4 ornaments, so I decided to figure out a small shadow box for just 1 ornament.
Wouldn’t this make a special gift for someone? You can fill it with treats if you’d like!
Here’s my video tutorial:
And here is the template for the ornament:
Here are the templates for the side panels for the shadow box – you’ll need to make two (2) of each:
Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope you’ll try making one of these to give to a special someone this holiday season! Have a wonderful and blessed day!

This project is amazing! What fun! The idea that you are planning to make multiples for your neighbors is mind-numbing. I’d not make it through one. You’re a special person with a special talent. <3
