Shadow Boxes: The Perfect Way to Tell Your Story in 3D

Some memories are too special to tuck away in drawers or boxes. Whether it’s your grandfather’s war medals, a wedding bouquet, or a baby’s first shoes, shadow boxes offer a beautiful and meaningful way to turn keepsakes into lasting displays.

What Is a Shadow Box?

A shadow box is a deep, glass-front frame used to display and protect dimensional items. At Tanglewood Art & Frame, we specialize in designing custom shadow boxes that are as unique as the stories they hold.

More Than Display — It’s Preservation

Not only do shadow boxes turn your items into art, but they also help preserve delicate objects using archival materials and UV-protective glass. We carefully mount items without damaging them and design layouts that highlight each detail.

Popular Ideas for Shadow Boxes:

  • Military medals, flags, and badges
  • Sports memorabilia like jerseys or game balls
  • Wedding keepsakes: invitations, photos, dried flowers
  • Vacation mementos like maps, tickets, or seashells
  • Baby items: hospital bracelets, shoes, and photos

Handcrafted With Heart

Our team will guide you through the entire process — from layout and design to material selection and final assembly. Each shadow box we create is a one-of-a-kind piece, crafted with intention and care.

If you’ve got a box of keepsakes waiting for a second life on your wall, let’s make something beautiful together. Reach out or stop by to start designing your custom shadow box today.
