  • Paint your layers
    • I chose to paint the back layer black, the text red, tree green and the rest white.
  • I didn't glue my layers together before inserting into the box but you can do that and my shadow box is deeper than my design so I had to had some spacers on the back so it wouldn't move around.
  • I layered them starting with the bottom
    • black solid piece
    • red merry christmas
    • white santa sleigh
    • green trees
    • white plain frame on top
