Santa Lighted Shadowbox Decor - Lori Whitlock Tutorial

 Hello friends. 

I am sharing a tutorial on the blog today for the new Holiday Lighted Shadowbox Decor pieces. You can purchase a bundle Here that includes a Turkey, Santa, Reindeer, Elf, Snowman, and Nativity Scene. I made the Santa (SVG, Silhouette) and boy is he spectacular!


These are pretty easy to assemble. Let me show you how.

1. Cut out all the pieces from desired pattern paper or cardstock. Be sure to scroll in Silhouette Studio to see all the pieces. There are 4 inserts, side panels, and the decorated front and back. We are going to assemble the side and back first Adhere your pattern paper panels to the cardstock back and sides.


2. Glue one side panel in place, adhering it to the tab with the four slits and then each tab working your way around to the other tab with four slits on the opposite side
.

3. Let's assemble the front panel. We are going to start with Santa's face. The white paper goes behind the black. That goes behind the flesh colored face. Last, attach his eyebrows over each eye.


4. Adhere the black belt pieces on each side and the bottom of the beard. This allows you to fit the face piece in just so tucked under the mustache. Once the face is in there, go ahead and adhere the hat brim down along with the white pompom. Lastly, add the mustache.



5. We are ready to assemble the inside of the shadowbox. Take the back panel with the moon and start and slide the tabs through the slit in the back on each side. You want the hole in the back piece to be on the bottom.

6. Repeat with the other inserts.




7. Once the inserts are in place we can adhere the final side in place the same as the other side.


8. Adhere the front Santa panel to the front of the shadowbox. I did this a few tabs at a time. Then your Santa is ready for some lights or if you prefer you can leave it as is.


Thanks so much for stopping by. Be sure to check out all of Lori's latest designs in her shop.
