Colourful Kmart Shadowbox Hack I know, I've been so awful at keeping my blog up to date, and I have so much to show you all. I'm going to make a concerted effort to post at least once a week from now on. No really!

Today I want to show you my very simple take on the popular Kmart Shadowbox hack...

I started with this $12 shadowbox from Kmart.... pretty cool as it is but I had a wee plan in mind... I painted the outside of the box and the edging white to start with, then used my left over pots of paint for each little shelf. I added white to the paint to give a "bright" pastel look, kind of like jelly.
Finally I painted the little heart white too. Its a cute Lalaloopsy display house! My youngest girl was beside herself with excitement when she saw it. Don't you think it looks a little like stained glass? My girls have had so much fun restyling their new display box.
At the moment, the pony's have moved in and they look awesome too! I love projects like this, that are easy, inexpensive and fun to do.
