Would you like to make one or more rooms in your house a reflection of you? But, where to start? I will tell you a great way, that won't break your budget, to give a touch of your personality to your home.

A great home decorating tip is to build in the style of your room a shadow box. After you get the hang of it you might could even bring in some extra dough making them for other people. How do you make a conversation piece out of an ordinary box? I will share some empty shadow box ideas.

Determine what size you want.

Just a quick trip to your local craft or hobby shop will show you the many kinds of empty shadow boxes available. You will be astounded at the array of sizes. There are many kinds of boxes also, pick the one to best fill you need. A small box can be used in the bathroom, or atop your desk. Just keep where you are going to display and look for bigger sizes for the big spaces in your home.

Find what style you like.

Golf is a great subject for a shadow box. You might want to craft it for yourself or someone you would like for them to have a personalized gift. Some ideas could be: old driver covers, some indoor-outdoor green carpet, maybe some sand and a ball would create a beautiful accent for the den or office.

Around your kitchen table, create a bountiful harvest feel by adding some silk or dried flowers and fruits to your shadow box. You could make a smaller version and put it somewhere in your bathroom.

A great way for animal lovers to show how they feel is a pet themed shadow box craft added to their home. Dog bones, paw prints or maybe some of your cat's toys arranged cleverly in your box will show how much you care for the four legged members of your home.

Like sports? How about adding some miniature basketballs, baseball bats, or footballs available at your local craft store. For the bedroom you might like a Hawaiian theme. Some sand, a miniature palm tree and a lei would create a Hawaiian project.

Add personality to your home. Simply go to your local hobby store where a little imagination and a few supplies can turn into a beautiful conversation piece for you. Or make some for other people to pick up some extra dough.
