DIY Layered Paper Wall Art

A shadow box frame doesn’t always have to hold personal treasured and 3-dimensional keepsakes. It can also hold art created with a 3D look. See how to personalize your space with a sleek frame that features a name, shape or beloved icon. Use three-dimensional foam adhesive squares to add height to your layered paper pieces for a complete piece of art. The bronze finish of our Humbert frame compliments many paint colors and themes, making it the perfect accessory to style your home.

Supplies:

• 12” x 8” Humbert Shadow Box Frame
• Cardstock in multiple colors. Tip: We used gold glitter cardstock for the name in the middle!
• Floral SVG cut file
• Adhesive
• Foam Adhesive squares

You can create a layered paper design using cardstock pieces cut with a die-cut machine or cut by hand using a stencil. If you want to recreate our design, upload the SVG cut file to your die-cut machine program and get cutting.

Once cut, arrange your pieces on your background to figure out your desired layout. Use a mix of liquid adhesive and foam adhesive squares to adhere them down in place. Tip: you can stack foam adhesive squares on top of one another to create more than one height.

Replace the backing on the Humbert shadow box and add the D ring hangers on the back to hang.

Display this special frame in a bedroom to make the space more personalized. This layered wall art piece is a great baby shower or welcome gift.
