DIY Nursery Art: Emerson's Hospital Keepsakes

I've known I wanted to put all of Emerson's hospital keepsakes in a special spot.

I had originally planned to put her little hospital hat and bracelets in a big glass Christmas Ornament but that didn't quite work out.

Then, her little tiny red bow that they put in her hair the day she came home, rode around in the cup holder in my truck for 3 months now.

I stamped her feet myself the first week home because they no longer stamp feet anymore at the hospital.

So, now, after a trip to Michael's I finally have it all together in one sweet spot.

And frames are buy one- get one right now, so perfect time.

Supplies needed for this project:

Shadow box

Straight pins

Memorabilia

Directions: 

{does this even need explanation?}

Start by layering largest items first and layer, layer, layer till all items are pinned down.

I did think of hot gluing a few things but decided against it in case I ever decided to change things.

So, what do you think?

How do you store your special keepsakes?

Scrapbook, shadow box, show box?

Happy DIYing!
