Ticket Stub Display DIY

One of my good friends is a collector of ticket stubs, which she keeps in a small box. As a gift, I thought that a ticket display would be perfect for her (and also a fun tutorial).
So, this DIY is going to show you how to make a shadow box ticket stub display.


WHAT YOU WILL NEED:
Scissors
Pencil
Shadow box (size of your choosing)
Scrapbook paper (for background)
Letter stickers
Film strip (optional)
Glue (optional)






STEP ONE:
Take out the original picture in the shadow box
 and trace that onto your scrapbook paper with the pencil.
Cut it out.









STEP TWO:
Cut a small slit into the back wall of the shadowbox.











STEP THREE:
Trace and cut the same slit into the scrapbook paper.
(I left the original picture in between the cardboard 
and the scrapbook paper so that I could have 
an easy stencil in case I ever wanted to change 
the background of the shadowbox.)










STEP FOUR:
Put everything together.

(Optional film strip)
Cut a few fun lengths of film strip and glue it to the frame. 
(I did this because she saves movie tickets. These can be made to display all sorts of 
ticket stubs)





STEP FIVE:
Grab your stickers and spell something 
fun for the shadowbox.
Examples:
Admit one
Travels
Plays
Theater
Movies
Memories
Etc...




Pretty simple, don't you think? 
My friend absolutely loved this gift when I gave it to her and has started putting movie ticket stubs in it already. 
I think I'll make one for myself.

Happy Crafting!
