Halloween Shadow Box
Let's have some fun with the We R Makers' Shadow Box Punch Board - and HALLOWEEN! You do NOT need this punch board to do this craft. There are many websites and YouTube videos that offer free shadow box svg files. These are also quite easy to cut out by hand if you do not have a cutting machine. The punch board makes this easy and quick - but again - USE WHAT YOU HAVE! It's a fun craft with lots of possibilities!
SUPPLIES I USED
We R Makers Shadow Box Punch Board (at the time of this video these are a little tight to find in the marketplace BUT as of this posting (9/1/2025), American Crafts, Target, eBay, Walmart and Amazon are selling. Note that prices vary significantly so shop around. Look for free shipping and also any discounts for first-time buyers.
Cardstock - can be double side printed or single side. The papers in my video were initially 12 x 12 scrapbook cardstock.
Clear Acetate Sheets - I used the Recollections brand 6" square pad. Your acetate has to match the INSIDE dimensions of the shadow box you create. With your measurement for the inside in hand, you will add 1" to your number. So if your inside is a 3" square, you will need a 4" square of acetate (there will be 3" across and 1/2" on each side folded down on each side). Feel free to reach out in the comments if you have any questions!
Glue - I used Bearly Art brand craft glue and Alenne's Quick Dry Tacky Glue. Be sure you get the "Quick Dry" and not the regular Tacky Glue.
Stickers, ephemera, and two types of larger glitter.
General craft supplies such as scissors, pens/pencils, wipes, etc.
WEBSITES and YOUTUBE CREATORS MENTIONED
You may ask why I list other YouTubers, artists, crafters, etc. in my videos. I'm not "getting" anything from them - I just think it is a good thing to share information on the folks who have inspired, taught, and encouraged me on my creative journey. Enjoy!
/ @craftytinas great site for learning how to use the We R Makers Shadow Box Punch Board and Cinch. She has others as well, but these are the two topics I have explored.
/ @wer_makers if you craft with their tools, their YouTube is very valuable. They demonstrate their products very well.
