Remember when we had to make the shoe box dioramas in school? And how the more elaborate and life-like the better? I recall a friend of mine, who was very artistic, had painted her shoebox an ocean blue and strategically added about 100 fish cutouts to make it appear as a school of fish. It was amazing! (obviously so if I still remember it 30 years later!) I think I was more amazed at her talent at such a young age!
So here's the modern day version of the diorama. Find two photos of your liking. One of them will be the background/frame and the other will be the main object. Print to 8x10 size. See my selections - a visit with the boys, a prairie walk and some blueberry picking. The end result? Charlie blueberry picking!

The instructions are super easy and it took me all of 10 minutes to complete. I do highly recommend adding cardstock to the back of the scenic picture for support. Helps with allowing the diorama to stand freely.

*this capture doesnt do the diorama justice. Its actually very cute! I will send this and one I will make of Tyler to them for their bedroom.

This week's inspiration isnt really all that free. If you have the photo paper at home, then sure this could be free, but if you send the pictures to be printed, then you'll have a small expense. I had these photos printed at Walgreens.
