If you follow Design Improvised, you know the site’s curator, Haeley, is a pom-pom fanatic. Using some of the colorful paint she received in her 12 Months of Martha box, she created the adorable pom-pom shadow boxes you see below. Read on to learn how to craft your own!

Tools and Materials for Pom-Pom Shadow Boxes
- Natural, raw wood shadow box
- Martha Stewart Multi-Surface Craft Paint (Haeley used Party Streamer and Camellia Pink)
- Small, colored pom-poms
- Foam brushes
- Painters’ tape
- A fun print to frame (if you’ve got any graphic design skills, design and print your own!)
POM-POM SHADOW BOX HOW-TO
1. Use your painters’ tape to mark off the area of the frame you want to paint. You can use a ruler to make sure you place the tape at the same position on each side of the frame. Apply 2 to 3 coats of paint with your foam brush, allowing the paint to dry between coats.
2. Once the paint is dry, fill your shadow box with pom-poms. I used just enough to make a row along the bottom. Add your print and you’re done!
Haeley is displaying her new art in her office, along with some of the Martha Stewart Tissue Pom-Poms she saved from a Mother’s Day brunch party.
