1. Trim the map section to fit the backboard of the shadow box and glue in place with paper glue.

2. Use foam squares to mount photos, stickers and stamps to create a 3-D effect. You can trim around the photos to highlight specific landmarks, scenery, etc. (figure A).

3. Hot-glue trinkets in the box as desired (figure B). Be sure that you are not gluing anything in the area where you will need to reattach the frame.
