I saw this awesome idea on Pinterest to put cheap dollar store ornaments into a shadow box and ta-da you have yourself some pretty neat wall art.
I went to Dollar General that very day and purchased some multi-colored--but mostly pink and purple--small ornaments, since they were to be used as a wall decoration in my daughter's room.
When I got home I discovered that I had grossly overestimated the depth of my shadow box and the ornaments were too large, even though I purchased the smallest round ones available. This is my fault and why I have labeled this post as "on the fence." If I am able to find an alternative shadow box I will definitely try this again.
For now, I stuck the ornaments in a glass boot and some mason jars with little battery operated candles, which is cute enough for now, it adds a nice splash of color to the counter and when the lights are off in the kitchen the candles create a nice warm glow.
I will try the shadow box idea if I can get my hands on one with more depth and for a reasonable price!
If you have tried this idea, please share your results with me! I would love to hear your story!
