Learn how to make a light up a shadow box with different kinds of LED lights! Some of my favorite papercraft projects are layered shadow boxes! I love the depth and detail we can create with just paper, don’t you? But to really level up a design, lights are the key. So I'll show you how to make several ways to make a lighted shadow box. You can use my winter scene or make your own custom shadow box design!
