Old-fashioned fishing lures are beautiful. Maybe you have some of these types of lures that belonged to a grandfather or a great-grandfather. Obviously, you do not want to use these for actual fishing. Save these special lures, and display them proudly in a shadow box to give you a constant reminder of the person they belonged to. Hang shadow boxes on the wall just as you would any other framed picture.
Instructions
1. Choose the size of shadow box you need, which depends on the amount of memorabilia you have to display in it as well as the size of the memorabilia. Leave a little bit of space around the edges of the shadow box to ensure a good fit for all your items and to prevent damaging items that are too close to the edge of the frame.
2. Plug in the hot glue gun to heat up while you prepare your shadow box.
3. Open the shadow box, separating the glass from the box frame. Set the glass aside.
4. Cut a piece of quilt batting to fit the inside of the box. Put a dab of hot glue in each corner of the quilt batting, and lay the quilt batting, glued side down, on the back of the shadow box.
5. Choose the lures you want to put in the shadow box. Set them on the cotton batting, and arrange them as desired.
6. Glue the fishing lures onto the quilt batting once you've chosen an arrangement. Do not leave any glue showing, which could detract from the piece of art you are creating.
7. Reassemble the shadow box. Hang it to display your fishing lures.
