DIY Baby Keepsakes Shadow Box

Hello my lovely berries!

     Today I want to share with you a way to preserve baby memories. This is a very cute way to turn newborn keepsakes into art. I found that a shadow box is the perfect way to display those newborn treasures. This quick craft is easy to make and you can hang it in the nursery so you and your baby, will never forget just how tiny she/he was. I've already made a shadow box with my daughter's christening outfit. You can check it out here.

Let's make your own baby shadow box in just three steps.

Step 1: Gather your keepsakes
Baby's coming home outfit, the hat they wore in the hospital, name letters, first booties, first pacifier, the hospital ID bracelet, tiny footprints, a tiny diaper, baby's first photo.

Step 2: Buy the supplies
I only needed to buy a frame from Ikea (RIBBA frame, 50x50cm)

Step 3: Put it together
Start by lining your shadow box with scrapbook paper or fabric. Next, start pinning your keepsakes to the board.

     Now hang it in your baby's nursery or on a family photo wall where you can pause to treasure those first memories of your newborn.

Hope you'll give this a try. Merry Christmas!
