Money Shadowbox Graduation Gift
This unique graduation gift is perfect for just about any grad! Create this money shadowbox with this quick tutorial to make this gift for your appreciative grad!
Equipment
- Weeding Tool (optional)
What You Will Need
- Shadowbox frame
- White vinyl
- Transfer tape
- Plain black or other color card stock
- Money
Instructions
- The shadowbox that I used comes pre-painted. If you are using one that is plain, be sure to paint it before beginning. Design text for the front of the shadowbox in Design Space. You want it the same size as the glass in the front of your frame. Cut the text from white vinyl.
- Weed out all excess vinyl. I like to use a weeding tool to aid with this. Be sure to get the centers of all of the letters. Use transfer tape to lift the vinyl from the backing.
- Place on the glass and press down well. Burnish well with a scraping tool.
- Remove the transfer tape and your vinyl will be left on the glass.
- You will want to add a plain colored card stock to the back of your shadowbox. I used black corrugated. You could also use school colors.
- Add in any amount of money you wish to make this great unique graduation gift.
Notes
Make sure you're using Transfer Tape that is right for your Vinyl. If you're using a Glitter Vinyl or a Sparkle Vinyl you will need a StrongGrip Transfer Tape.
