3. Decorate your shadow box. We have chosen to put the book’s title and author on the front of our shadow box. 6. For template pieces 1, 2 & 3, add double sided tape to the back of the tabs labelled ‘Glue’. Fold each tab along the dotted lines. 1. Print the templates provided on pages 9-12. We have printed onto A3 cardboard to provide a sturdy surface when constructing. Decorate your templates using watercolour. Allow to dry. 4. Glue template piece 4 to the back of your shadow box before constructing. 7. Remove the backing from the double sided tape on the left of the template. Slide template 1 into the very front of the shadow box and attach the tabs. Repeat for templates 2 & 3, placing them just behind the previous template.

2. Cut out each of the templates using a hobby knife or scissors. Adult supervision is recommended when using a

hobby knife or scissors.

5. Construct one side of your box using double sided tape. Leave the other side open so you can place

in the other template pieces.

8. Remove the backing from the double sided tape on the right side of each template piece. Use tape to secure the open side of the shadow box. Attach each template by reaching in the front and pressing it against the shadow box.
