Boo & Spooky Shadow Halloween Boxes

You can easily transform a shadow box or an ordinary frame into one of a kind Halloween art. They especially cute displayed along a mantel or in an entry way with a few candles or other Hallowwen decorations. One of our favorite things about this project is that at the end of Halloween you can peel the gallery glass away and your frame will be good as new or you can leave your design and it will last for years.
