DIY Kitchen Shadow Box

DIY Kitchen Shadow Box

Let’s make your own kitchen shadow box with the free and adorable illustration you can directly download. It’s a great gift for housewarming and even for special occasions like birthday, mother’s day and for those who enjoy and spend their time a lot in the kitchen.

This illustration was designed manually using watercolour paints. It was my favorite illustration that I am very happy to share with you. You can see the illustration looks more alive because of the 3D effect. Curious enough to know how to make it? Let’s learn together!

Tools & Materials

    • 3D Frame photo (20 x 15 cm) or A5
    • 200 or 220 gsm paper – I use watercolor paper.
    • Printer
    • Scissor
    • Glue
    • EVA foam sheet
Download the file

Instructions

First, download and print the illustration on the paper. I used 200 gsm watercolor paper. Then, you can cut each drawing with scissor.

Start by covering the base of the frame with white paper. I use a watercolour paper. You can directly glue the paper or use double-sided tape to attach the paper.

To make a 3D effect for the shadow box, I used EVA foam sheet.

Glue the floor as shown below. Please make sure to glue it neatly. Then, prepare to glue the next furnitures!

For the table, glue the 4 little squares of EVA foam sheet on the back side as shown in the picture. After the glue dries, glue again on the little squares and attach it on the floor (follow the bigger illustration to know where to place each furniture or just randomly place it).

Attach the cake and the piping bag on the table.

Then, place the oven stove! so you can cook and bake :p

While for the picture, utensil holder and the utensils, I don’t use the EVA foam sheet on the back side. So, you can glue it directly.

Attach the frame right above the utensil holder and the picture. You can definitely replace the frame with any image or text you want.

Lastly, attach the EVA mat sheets on the back of the kettle, pot, little smoke puff and the main character, the chubby squirrel who loves to cook.

Then attach the rest as shown in the picture! and it’s done!

Then, put inside the frame! Voila!

The finished elephant plush is approximately 4.7 inch when standing up. Please resize the pattern as you wish if you want to make bigger plush than the original size I made. The skill level is opened for anyone but recommended for those who are familiar with basic sewing skills. The only stitches I used throughout the process are back, ladder and running stitches. These stitches can be learnt on Youtube, it’s very easy.

Intructions

  1. trace the pattern on the minky fabric. Give a space for each piece because you need to add the seam allowances.

  2. add ~0.5 cm seam allowances for each piece and cut it.  (illustration 1 & 2)

  3. let’s start with the body firstly (see the illustration number 3). Start sewing the body with the back stitches along the red dashed lines. When you’re about to finish, turn it inside out and stuffed it with toy stuffing. Lastly, you can close the seam with the ladder or invisible stitches.

  4. let’s sew the arms and ears as shown in the illustration 4. For both parts, you don’t need to stuff it with any toy stuffing.

  5. For the head, let’s begin by sewing along the red dashed line in the illustration 5. Then, you can insert the ears in between the pieces of head and sew along with back stitches like usual. When you’re about to finish, turn it inside out.

  6. You can start stuffing the head with the toy stuffing. Then, let’s attach the nose on the face with ladder stitches as shown in the illustration 5. When you’re about to close the seam, stuff it with little toy stuffing to make a piggy nose. For the nostrils, you can attach it using 2 seed beads, black sewing thread and needle. Lastly, close the seam with the ladder stitches.

  7. When everything is done, you can start attaching the eyes with the black thread and sewing needle. Then, close the seam with ladder stitches. (see illustration 6)

  8. Lastly, you can assemble the head and body using the ladder stitches. Don’t forget to sew it back and front.

  9. For the arms, you can start attaching it on the body using ladder stitches. 

  10. Voila! There you go! 🙂
