Leslie Frederick creates a great shadow box using a simple origami technique. The shadowbox is a great way to add seashells to your vacation pages. Green, blue and tan textured paper
Palm pattered paper (palm tree on one side)
Shells
Glue dots
Lettering template (optional) - Cut squares of green and tan and tear blue into a thin strip.
- Create origami squares from tan paper -- these will become shadow boxes for the shells. Begin by folding each square diagonally and pinching at the crease. Repeat in the opposite direction.
- Open the square and notice the creased "x" in the center. Fold each tip to the center of the "x" until a diamond shape is created (figure A). Next, fold back 1/4" - 1/8" of each tip back toward outer edge.
- Use glue dots to adhere seashells to center of folded shadowbox (figure B).
- Use die-cut word aloha or create your own from green paper and a lettering template.
- Adhere all elements to palm paper as shown, mounting origami squares onto green squares to give them added emphasis (figure C).
