I shared earlier that I recently did a big makeover for my kid’s shared bedroom.  First, I gave their closet a bit of lovin’ and then started working on making shadow boxes to hang on their wall.  Today I am sharing exact how I made my kid’s Shadow Boxes to hold their baby onesies.

What supplies do you need to make Shadowbox Onesies?

How to make Shadowbox for your Kid’s Onesies

I started by making personalized paper pennants for each of the kid’s shadow boxes by cutting out chipboard.  I love the look of layered paper, so I found cute scrapbook paper and cut them out just slightly larger than the pennants to peak from behind.

I also gathered baker’s twine ribbons in blues, reds and pinks to use.  I had found them in the dollar section at Michaels!

My kiddo’s newborn onesies were too big for the size of shadow boxes I had bought, so I cut them off around the “tee shirt” size and add a simple cream lace trim to edge them.

I used a faux wood pattern scrapbook paper for the back of the shadow box.  Then, I started layering all the different elements.

My baby girl’s box looked so darling with a few more girly frills added to it.

And my little man’s box looked perfectly him with a bit of orange and blue added to it.

The final touch was adding each child’s initial and then decorating with a few ribbons and bakers twine!

The onesie shadowboxes are completed and in their perfect place on the wall!  I love being able to remember how sweet and little they were with this fun craft project.
