INSIDE : Learn how to make Onesie shadowboxes for your children’s bedrooms using their baby onesies! I did a little girl and a little boy shadowbox for each of my kiddos.

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?
White Square Shadow Boxes
Wood Scrapbook Paper
Baker’s Twine ribbons
Chipboard cut into pennants
Items to put in shadow boxes (I used their newborn onesies + shoes)
How to make shadowbox 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.
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!
I have done so many fun painted and patterned boxes over the years!
Here are a few of my favorite ones.

Geometric Thread Box | Memory Box | Onesie Shadow Box | Floral Painted Box

LOVE the shadow boxes! They are too cute! 🙂
Such sweet and personal display pieces for their room! Love it!
These are darling, Amy! Such a sweet touch to their room!
So, so sweet!
I love these Amy! I have clothes from when my kids were little stored in boxes in their closets. I really should have done something like this to capture that moment when they are little. They are adorable!
i love shadow boxes are yours are amazing! please link them up!! http://www.mycraftilyeverafter.com/2014/01/07/awesome-things-tuesday-8/
I lost my pup to cancer in October – so I used my shadow box to put his collar, name tags, two pictures of him and his favorite toy – it hangs in my office and each time I sit at my desk, I see his smiling face!
Lovely!! You arranged it all so well!
I only haveone shadow box and I glued rocks that we collected from our last trip to the beach 😉
I love these! And I love the display of your ribbon from Michaels, did you buy them in that package or do that yourself! I have to look for those, thanks!
Thanks for stopping by, Lynette! Part of the reason I fell in love with those ribbons was their adorable packaging, they came that way!
These are really adorable. I saved some of my kids’ newborn onesies too. I don’t think I could bear to cut them, though. You’re very brave! 🙂
Well, I’ve only got like 30 more onesies of theirs… so it wasn’t too hard to cut these!
How sweet! What a great way to preserve memories! I’d love for you to share this at my weekly link party. Hope to see you there! http://www.thelifeofjenniferdawn.com/2014/01/a-little-bird-told-me-link-party-73.html

Omg! I love these! What a inspiring post! I have twin boys and this would be so precious in their room! Thanks for the idea! Love your blog!
Thanks so much, Polly. They were really easy to do and I love having their small newborn onesies displayed to always remember how tiny they were at birth!
