Step 1
Decide what memorabilia to include. Consider the wedding invitation, garter, dried flowers from the bouquet, party favors and a selection of favorite photos.
-
Step 2
Select a shadow box frame to accommodate the items. Stores like Michaels, Jo-Ann Fabrics and Crafts, Target and Wal-Mart sell pre-made shadow box frames. You can also check specialty scrapbooking, stamping or framing shops.
-
Step 3
Remove the backing from the frame. Cover it with a decorative material to add color and texture. Try crumpled tissue, cardstock, patterned paper, fabric or a collage of duplicate photos from the wedding. Adhere the material with a photo-safe adhesive like double-stick tape or spray mount designed for scrapbooking.

Step 4
Arrange the items until you're satisfied with the look.

Step 5
Adhere the items with double-stick tape, adhesive dots or straight pins. Add more dimension to some items by affixing with foam tape and stacking several layers to get the height you desire.

Step 6
Adorn the project with decorative touches like paper flowers, buttons or dimensional stickers. Purchase photo-safe embellishments at scrapbooking retailers or in the memory book section of crafts and chain stores like Michaels and Target.

Step 7
Place the backing in the frame, secure it with the attached photo turns or clips and display. Hang the keepsake on your wall, sit it on a bookshelf or showcase the shadow box on a cookbook or plate stand.
