5 Creative Ways to Use Your Shadow Box Kit This Holiday Season

There’s something extra special about the holidays when your hands are covered in paint and your table’s sprinkled with glitter. Our Little Makery kits aren’t just about crafting, they’re about slowing down, making memories, and adding your own handmade touch to the season.

Here are five fun and festive ways to use your shadow box kit this Christmas:

 1. Family Craft Night Tradition

Pick a cozy night, pour the cocoa, and craft together! Everyone can choose a different design or color theme to match their personality. It’s the perfect unplugged evening — music, laughter, and a few messy paint brushes included.

2. The Perfect Handmade Gift

Nothing says “I thought of you” like something made with your own two hands. Whether it’s for a teacher, neighbor, or grandparent, your finished shadow box makes a heartfelt and personal gift. Add a little tag that says “Made with Love by Our Little Makery” for that extra touch.

 3. Holiday Décor Upgrade

Your shadow box doesn’t have to stay in the craft bin — display it proudly! Add twinkle lights behind it, place it on your mantel, or include it in your holiday centerpiece. Handmade décor always stands out.

4. Host a “Paint & Peppermint” Night

Invite your friends over for a cozy evening of crafts, snacks, and laughter. Provide everyone with a kit (or have them bring their own) and turn it into a festive girls’ night in! Peppermint mochas optional, but highly recommended.

5. Capture a Keepsake

Write the year on the back or sneak a small photo inside your design. Each kit becomes a little time capsule of that moment — something you’ll love unpacking every holiday season.

However you use your shadow box kit this year, we hope it brings a little sparkle, calm, and connection to your holiday season.
