Lesson 3 of 4
In Progress

Step 3: Assembling The Shadow Box

1- After all the parts are cut, using our weeding tool, we are going to proceed to weed the parts from the different layers as needed (sometimes without this tool is also enough):

2- When all the parts are ready, we can start adding them together:

First we are going to glue:

  • Layer 2 with 3
  • Layer 4 with 5
  • Layer 6 with 7
  • Layer 9 with 10

You should have something like this:

3- Now, we are going to Glue together:

  • Layer 1 with the layers that are already Glued 2 and 3

4- Now we can start using our foam dots. If your foam dots are not too thick you can pile 2 or more dots until you have the separation that you like, in our example I used piles of 3 dots together. We are going to apply the dots starting from the bottom, that means layer 9 and 10.

  • Between Layer 8 and layers 9 and 10 (already glued) 
  • Between Layers 6 and 7 (already glued) with layers 8 to 10 (already glued and added the dots)
  • Between Layers 4 and 5 (already glued) with layers 6 to 10 (already glued and added the dots)
  • Between Layers 1 to 3 (already glued) with layers 4 to 10 (already glued and added the dots)

5- After this, you are ready to add your amazing Shadow box inside the frame and your work is done! GREAT JOB!
