Showing off your collection doesn't get much easier than this. An IKEA shadow box picture frame can be modified without any extra tools for a professional look.

Shadow boxes go beyond the capabilities of a basic frame due to their depth. Ranging from one to three inches deep, shadow boxes are design to hold both flat, and three-dimensional objects.

Try to gather items of varying texture, pattern, colour, size and/or shape to add visual interest to your shadow box. Materials Foam board is key for creating forms and adding depth to the collage.

You don't want your memorabilia slipping and sliding within the shadow box frame. Use a hot-glue gun and/or spray glue to keep everything in its place.
