Pinning Insects in a Shadow Box



  • Soak the insects in alcohol for a half hour. 
  • Let them dry on a paper towel. 
  • Purchase a white foam board from your crafts store or office supplie store
  • Using a box cutter cut to the size of the shadow box you intend on using
  • Lay out the insects where you would like they pinned, make sure it doesn't look too squashed together or too far apart
  • Using pins that you can get at a hardware store, office supplies store, arts and crafts store, or sewing/fabric store pin pin the insects into the foam board 
  • Place into the back of the frame, use double stick tape to secure
