Step 1

Disassemble your shadow box and measure the paper to fit on the back of the shadow box; then cut to size.

Step 2

Paint your plastic skeleton with liquid gilding and let completely dry.

Step 3

Position the skeleton in the centre of the paper so you can plan the wings. Cut the large butterflies in half and position them on the sides of the skeleton. Once in place use hot glue to adhere the skeleton.

Step 4

Add the small butterfly stickers to the front and the phase sticker to the frame to complete your embellishing.

Step 5

Re-assemble your shadow box.
