This simple gift for a friend is made using a 9x9 Ribba shadow box frame from IKEA. I just cut the paper to fit behind the matte that comes with the frame, painted the letters with acrylic paint...first an antique white, then in a dark chocolate (when painting the second coat it didn't cover it completely but I liked the textured effect so I left it...it kinda looks like wood grain!) I then adhered the letters with dimensionals and put the frame back together. The outside of the frame had a little chip so that is where I came up with the idea of tying the ribbon around it and making tags with the recipient's names. Now I just have to make one for myself!!
