Instructions:

1. Take a piece of 12 x 12 card stock and score at 3/4” and 1 1/2” on all edges (the size in the center will be the width and height of the frame that you choose to use), see step 2 for better explanation. Trim the excess.
   
   
    
2. Picture below should be the end result from step 1. Cut the corners on four sides according to picture shown below.
   
   
    
3. Fold and use the Xyron Mega Runner or Xyron Double Sided Tape to adhere all four sides to form an open box as shown in photo.
   
   
    
4. Use a pen to trace the shape of the frame inside and out. Then cut out with scissor or craft knife.
   
   
   
   
   
   
    
5. Use the Xyron Mega Runner to adhere the paper to the frame.
   
   
    
6. Adhere the open box to the back of the frame by using the Xyron Mega Runner on all four edges and adhere facing down.  This is the finished box.
   
   
    
7. Create the glittered snowflakes by using the Xyron 2.5” Sticker Maker. Insert wood veneer to the machine to create a sticker and turn over to make it sticky on both sides of the wood.
   
   
    
8. Take the paper off one side and sprinkle glitter over the sticky side and adhere to frame.
   
   
    
9. Insert stars and Merry Christmas wood into Xyron 2.5” Create-A-Sticker and adhere on frame.

13. Turn the paper over and tape the legs of the pins. Close the piece of paper and glue the top and bottom together.
    
    
     
14. Apply Xyron ½” Doubled Sided Tape on the back of the paper and adhere to the back of the shadow box.
