Spider Web FREE Gift Kit! I was inspired by Teri Calia’s new artwork, and put together this little spider web-themed kit! It includes mini sheets of FIVE Scrapbook papers (four at that link, 1 custom, and all on sale — see below), plus a snip of the Tim Holtz Jute String – Halloween (which is on clearance sale) and 2 spider webs: Antique Brass Spider Web and Chipboard Corner Spider Webs.

I *may* have been badgering Teri to show/explain how to use the glass that comes with the frame in the Small Frame Shadowbox AND still have a way to get back into the shrine (in case some little prop falls down, or you change your mind)…
So we have adorable (and easy) Halloween artwork AND a tutorial on using Red Liner Tape and Velcro to use the glass and keep the inside space accessible! The glass helps keep the dust off projects (or cat’s paws out in some cases).
I am going to show you how to keep the glass in your shadowbox while making it open and close on command 😉
I like to have the glass there to keep the dust out and having the frame front removable, makes it reusable as a display box if you don’t permanently glue the displayed pieces into the box.
To permanently affix the glass inside the frame, I ran a strip of Super Sticky Red Liner Tape all the way around the inside ledge of the frame (where the glass usually sits). Remove the red backing, clean the glass, then adhere to the red liner tape. Simple and effective!
See below (3 photos in a wide row) for a preview of the steps. Or check out Teri’s blog post for more info and photos. And scroll down to enter the Giveaway drawing and you could win EVERYTHING from Teri’s supply list (including that new hissing black cat shown at left)!

I was probably do a very similar scene.
I’d make a circus scene.
Wow! Love that shadowbox. If I were to do this, I would do a “seasonal” Halloween Skelly Box, using the velcro method to open and insert/remove things like a small Christmas Tree or give the skelly a new hat at St. Paddy’s day, etc. It could sit out all year long (not that it would not anyway!
Love this shadow box and the Halloween theme!
I would *love* to create a fun Halloween scene in the shadowbox! I have a few fun trinkets I’ve collected, and some of your awesome pieces to tie in with them would be fabulous!
Love this shadow box! I would definitely make scary box, but maybe change my skeleton for each season!
Amazing ideas again! Love Halloween, so I am so inspired. Thank you.
l love the shadow box-shabby chic. The miniatures are so cute so I would make a cabinet for miniatures-sure wish they were less expensive. >^..^<
I love Halloween I would make a scary scene and add it to a 3D collage thank you
I love this! Halloween is my favorite!! Making halloween spooky scenes is one of my favorite things to do. I do have others as well but Halloween is tops. So I would make a spooky halloween scene.
I would definitely make a Halloween scene, too — maybe with a witchy twist.
I think I’d turn the shadowbox glass side up, add some wood trim and some long turned wood legs and turn it into a display side table for a doll. The inside would get a variety of souvenirs. The outside would get the wood trim and a knob or handle to simulate a drawer.
The other materials would make great accents for a small-scale diorama I’ve been working on.
Congratulations Laura! Enjoy your goodies!
I think I would use Velcro and do a miniature faerie scene that would be changed at the beginning of each Season. With just a few changes it would go from Spring to Summer until each season passes and we are back to Spring again! This would b a great display piece on the mantle shelf in ,my living room!
Thanks for the inspiration and chance to win this awesome giveaway! Have a great week and see you Sunday!
Never too early to start on Halloween! I love the scaredy cat 😱
I’m make a Halloween Scene and maybe a Christmas scene to velcro in.
I love this shadow box! I would love to have this shadowbox! I would change the miniatures inside through out the year for the different seasons. Halloween is one of my favorite time to decorate, I still like to be able to switch the miniatures out for other seasons and holidays.
I would make a Halloween scene.
I love this idea!
This shadow box screams Halloween to me! Love it and all the things available to make it very enchanting!
Ooh! This would look great next to my Witch’s Apothdcary from a few years ago!!
Vintage inspired scene.
A Christmas Box with vintage children’s toys
I’m thinking of a voodoo doll/poison scene with that great wallpaper
I hate spiders but love those little webs. Such a freaky, fun shadow box.
Maybe a fairy tearoom…
Wow. I had the same idea as Barb -a fairy scene. I think I would like to do one with a fairy door that changes with the seasons. OR I have a small pumpkin with a miniature graveyard scene – it could use an expansion/companion – lots of spirits floating around.
I would make a Halloween theme shadow box because I’m addicted to magician/wizard/witch scenes.
I would like to make a little tribute to my grandmother. I’d just use the Velcro back to change stuff out until I decide to go to something else.
I would love to make a summer garden.
I love Halloween so it would definitely be a Halloween shadow box. The black cat is great. I would have to get some more of them and add a fence where all the cats would be hissing at each other!
I would make a fairy tale inspired scene randomly changing fairy tales when the whim hits me. One time Hansel and Gretel. Next maybe The Three Billy Goats Gruff. (That one has always been a favorite of mine.)
I have to go with a Halloween theme.. It’s always time for Halloween!
I would make various interchangeable Halloween scenes.
I love this craft. The velcro frame idea is great. I would love to make a Day of the Dead themes shadowbox. Thanks for the great ideas!
I would definitely make a Halloween scene – one with pumpkins and black cats and maybe a primitive scarecrow! Love this post!
Love the idea of the glass front. My shadow box would be either a Halloween or Christmas scene.
Since I’m always being accused of being a witch, I would do a seasonal altar box that could be changed for each of the major and minor solstice celebrations.
If I did the velcro system I would make an ever-changing valentine box for my sweetie.
OMG are you kidding me? LOVE!!!!! I might add a small bottle of poison and silver spiders.
I think if I ever made such a cool box, it would have to remain for all eternity.
Of course I’d have to make a Halloween scene and switch it out with a Christmas one.
Halloween is my favorite! Would love to win.
A tribute to Poe.
I would decorate mine with some “odd” children trick or treater’s! It would have to be permanent for sure.
I would do seasonal scenes, with the skelly and cat as an odd couple drawn to various entertainments. So the cat would hate the beach, but had to be the one who figured out how to get themselves on the bus, in disguise.
I think I’d create a fairy witch!
I am a Halloween FREAK…must have been a witch in an earlier life! Love Halloween projects. Christmas is my second favorite holiday, so would replace with a Christmas theme…or just buy a second set for that.
I’ve been wanting to showcase a newly completed piece from Prima’s Relics and Artifacts line…i think this box would be perfect!
