Shadow Box Frames – A Safe Way to Display Your Keepsakes

Do you have a special souvenir or keepsake that you want to keep protected and share with others? Then, a shadow box frame is the perfect solution.

Shadow box frames allow you to create a unique and personal display of your keepsakes. Imagine your pictures from school, birthdays, graduations, weddings or any other special occasion being proudly displayed in a shadow box frame by themselves or with small mementos of that special time. A child’s accomplishments, like special school awards, medals or artwork make a wonderful shadow box display. Shadow box frames can be hung on a wall or placed on a flat surface for an eye catching display.

Shadow box picture frames can be found in a variety of sizes, colors, shapes and depths to accommodate almost anything you decide to display.  They come in a variety of standard colors like white, walnut, blue, green, red and basic black colored frames. A standard ready made shadow box can be found in either a rectangular or square frame shape with depths ranging from ½” to 1 ¾”. You can also have a shadow box frame custom made if you want a unique shape or depth (up to 7″ deep). Custom shadow box frames can be made to hold collector plates, flags, sports jerseys and memorabilia and just about anything else.

Shadow box frames allow you to display your special pictures or unique collectibles while protecting them from damage. There are many items that are perfect for displaying inside a shadow box. All you have to do is use a little creativity and you’ll find lots of ideas. Here are a few ideas you can do with using a ready made shadow box frame:

1. Post major news events that touched your life. Maybe you or a family member had their achievement headlined in the newspaper. You could display the news clipping in a shadow box, along with any other tokens of that achievement.
2. Do you have a treasured collection hidden away in a box? Any small collectibles go nicely in a shadow box frame and will help protect your collection from dust and damage. This could be a collection of political pins, letter openers, spoons or just about any other small collectible.
3. Are you proud of your flower garden? Save those beautiful blooms by drying them and displaying them in a shadow box. Preserve your garden indoors with a display that will blend with any decor.
4. You can proudly display athletic accomplishments whether they’re your medals or your kids. Ribbons and medals should not be hidden away in a box, but should be proudly displayed, even if the display is just for your own enjoyment and satisfaction.
5. Are you a beachcomber? You can display all of your beautiful sea shells you collected over the years. A shadow box display of your shell collection will bring a smile to your face when you think back to all your special trips to the ocean.
6. Have you collected sports memorabilia from a specific team or event? Show your team spirit with a shadow box frame display. How about a musical event, show or concert you went to? If you collected memorabilia from a favorite recording artist, protect it and display it in a shadow box frame.

A shadow box frame is a great way to display and protect any photos and keepsakes that are important to you. If it is special enough for you to save and collect it, don’t hide it away. Display your memories and mementos so you can be happily reminded of those special times every time you see your shadow box frame.
