BABY SHOES

I am having a very crafty summer! I am almost finished with my huge painting/room make-over projects: two kids bedrooms and their bathroom. But I'm also tackling some projects that I've wanted to do for a long time, like what to do with the kids' first baby shoes. My parents had my baby shoes bronzed, mounted on a display with an 8x10 photo of me at that age. These days bronzing is hard to deal with because you have to mail your precious baby shoes far away and hope they don't get lost, hope it gets done right, and the cost is pretty pricey.

I decided to put their baby shoes into a shadow box. Sadly, I just couldn't find a shadow box with enough depth for the shoes. This week I discovered that the small flag display box just might work! Check it out!

Noel's shoe is a 4W and fits great. Sam's shoe is a little bigger (6XW), but it was also able to fit well enough. I was only able to get 3 of the 4 back clasps to close due to the width, but it's still secure.

What you need...
- small flag box ($15 at Hobby Lobby after 50% sale discount)
- 1 large piece scrapbook paper (59 cents)
- Alphabet Stickers ($1.19, though if I had to do this again, I would use a larger/bolder font)
- Baby Shoes

That's it! Very easy to do, and will look nice on display! Another project completed!
