Art of Home Family History Day “Thinking Inside the Box" Shadow Boxes

Creating a family history shadowbox is fun and easy! Candace Marx will walk you step-by-step through gathering supplies, planning a composition, and putting the finishing touches on a unique shadowbox that highlights your ancestor’s achievements, hobbies, and personality. We will learn some crafting “best practices” and look at great online resources to get your creativity flowing. Plus, we’ll discuss the history behind shadowboxes and displaying treasured items from loved ones. Please note, this is a lecture/tutorial and not an art workshop.
