Hi everyone! Today, I would love you to join me in creating a simple Valentine's shadow box. I'm reusing my shadow box from a previous project, and it would be fun to display all things love with just a few embellishments and a paint touch-up. Video tutorial **Materials Needed:** - Shadowbox - Valentine stickers - Adhesive - Paint - Paintbrush - Wooden house decoration - Faux flowers Start by applying paint to the wooden shadow box. Since I'm reusing my shadow box from a previous project, it has already been painted, but a few spots needed touch-ups. Next, paint the wooden house. I chose to paint the house pink and the fence pickets white. Once the paint is dry, add adhesive to the base of the wooden house and place it inside the shadow box.  Now, add your stickers.
