Fashion a Shadow Box from an Old TV

Disassemble the TV

Carefully remove the back of the TV, then take out the screen and all internal components. Dispose of or recycle these parts responsibly.

Thoroughly clean the interior and exterior of the TV casing to remove any dust and debris.

Measure and cut pieces of craft paper or fabric to line the interior of the TV. Glue these pieces in place for a finished look.

Cut small wooden planks to fit inside the TV casing. Secure these with screws or strong adhesive to create shelves for your display items.

Paint the exterior and interior of the TV as desired. Allow to dry completely before proceeding.

Place your chosen decor or memorabilia on the shelves. Optionally, add a backlight for an enhanced effect.
