Light-Up Shadowbox Wall Art

Turn a boring lonely wall into a glowing piece of photo art! Check out this quick, easy and stylish photo wall art piece made with shadowboxes and a glittering twist, Christmass tree lights! The only materials that you need are shadowboxes (however many you wish to use), Christmas lights, your favorite photos, a staple gun, spray adhesive, and etching spray. Once you have your materials follow the instructions below and start showing off your favorite photo memories!


Step 1: Cover the photographs with a spray adhesive and place it face down on the glass pane of the shadowboxes

Step 2: Coat the remaining exposed glass edge with etching spray to add a frosted look and let the glass dry.

Step 3: Arrange the lights inside the shadowboxes after putting the photo pane in place, place
the lights behind the picture so that you make sure to keep the photo visible. Make sure to get a small set of lights.

Step 4: Take a staple gun and attach the light cord to the back of the shadowboxes, letting the
remaining portion of the lights dangle down to the next shadowbox below.

Step 5: Take the remaining portion of the lights and put them in the remaining shadowboxes,
leaving enough dangling down so that you can plug it in to the electrical socket.

Extra tips: To add more flare paint each shadowbox a different color or use colorful lights or lights with just one color (like all red or all blue lights) if that flows with the theme and design of the room. You can even use different shaped shadowboxes! Also, you don't necessarily have to use your own photos. You can find prints online or at a store and scale it down to fit the size of the shadowboxes.
