Black shadow box with spoons

14 years ago

A while back, someone had a shadow box and had spoons set in it. I have a need for a box like that, but so far have come up empty. If whoever had that box, sees this, can you tell me, where you purchased it.

Thanks bunches

    I purchased mine at Michael's. Most of the Home/Craft/Frame shops will have them. Or, you could order one online from someplace like IKEA??

    It was me. I bought it at a local craft store. I had bought one at Michael's, but it wasn't big enough for all the spoons.

    Thank you. I am not in the vicinity for Michael's tomorrow, but, I am going to be very close to two fairly large local type craft stores. I will look in there. I did glance at Ikea, but, I most likely missed it. Just getting over a bout of the flu so not as observant looking for stuff as I usually am. Going back to Ikea website and Michaels website too, right now.

    I am very inspired by the spoon displays from newhomebuilder and terriks and I have a few questions. How did you mount the spoons in the display box? How quickly do the spoons tarnish? Do you take them out and polish them to keep them looking good? Thanks.

    They are so great!

    The shadow box backing is a fabric that you can attach the "sticky" side of Velcro to. I bought some small Velcro dots and attached the sticky side to the spoons. As far as tarnishing? I'm not going to worry about it. Many of my spoons are stainless,and the silver ones can just tarnish.

    Mine have not been polished since I placed them, about 8 years ago.

    I didnt see anything that large at Ikea. Newhomebuilder, do you have the size of the one from Michaels, as I didnt see one that looked that large on their site either. I have a similar amount of spoons like what is in Terriks picture. Right now, they are in the typical wood US shape spoon holder, but, they keep getting knocked on the floor, and they get so dusty and they are not easy to dust, without removing every single one. I did go to two craft stores today, but, neither had anything that was a size I could use.

    Cat, did you check Hobby Lobby?

  • 14 years ago

    No, I didnt Natal. They are on the otherside of the city, I was in yesterday. We have to go back over there on the 6th, and I do have an errand on that side, so, will stop in there then. I did check them online though, and it didnt show much, but, I have found stuff there before, that they had none of online.

    Cat, I bought a smaller shadow box for dh. A friend of his made him a knife and engraved it, so he wanted some way to display it. I'm pretty sure Hobby Lobby had a variety of sizes available.
