Learn how to make a Polaroid shadow box travel keepsake on-the-go!

Some of my best ideas seem to land when I'm nowhere near my craft room. Maybe it's the change of scenery, or maybe it's just the way inspiration hits when you're caught up in a moment you never want to forget. A few years back, I found myself sitting on a warm beach thousands of miles from home, watching the waves roll in and feeling both at peace and in awe. That view eventually became a project I adore: a Polaroid shadow box! It's a tiny, three-dimensional snapshot you can make anywhere, before the inspiration fades... even if you're on vacation!
