Vintage Christmas Shadowbox with Lights

Hi Friends,

I had this old empty box and sad bottle brush just laying around and thought

I might be able to make something with them-

I cut the tree to the size of the box.

Then glued the tree back into the stand.

I looked through my paper stash to find something for the background.

Then measured the paper and cut to fit.

I also trimmed the box at the opening to enlarge the window.

The top flap needed to be re-enforced.

I had a set of battery powered fairy lights from Dollar Tree.

They worked!

I wrapped them around the tree from the bottom up-

I wanted the battery back to be at the top of the box.

The tree needed a trim, and the I used

hot glue to add some ornaments.

The tree was put inside and battery pack was attached to 

the side of the box.

I added a thrift-ed  singing Angel.

This is the top inside view.

It was hard to get a good picture because of the bright lights-

Here is a picture with the lights off

This is the back of the box.

The little Angel has such a cute face!

I moved the box to the kitchen-

Merry Christmas!

Thank you for visiting.
