DIY: Rose Heart Shadow Box

 

DIY rose image
Since Valentine’s Day is this weekend I thought I do a quick DIY project you can make as a gift or after when you don’t know what to do with the flowers you received. It was very simple and inexpensive, especially if you have a coupon for Michael’s, Joanna, or Hobby Lobby.

This project was extra special to me because these are the first flowers Chris has ever gave me and I wanted to find a way to cherish them forever. Especially because the day he gave them to me marked a very special day in our relationship.

Spanish/Español:

Como este fin de semana es el Dia del Amor y La Amistada quise hacer un proyecto simple y barato que puedes hacer y dar como un regalo o hacer lo con las flores que te regalan. Y no cuesta mucho si tienes un cupón para el cuadro.

Este proyecto en particular es muy especial para mi porque son las primeras flores que me dio Chris y las quise encontrar un manera para apreciar las para siempre. Especialmente porque el dia que me los dio es un dia muy importante en nuestra relación.

Also I would recommend measuring how big your flowers are because I didn’t realize that my flowers needed more depth and I had to go buy another frame. I added black paper to the new frame and kept the fabric or the original board because I had already hot glued it :/

Aseguraste que las flores quedan en el cuadro. las mias eran muy grande para el cuadro y no cerraron y tuve que compara una caja mas grande.
