Many people may not know, but you can find all types of shadow boxes at your local crafts store such as a Michaels or Joanns.  There selections may not be huge and the quality is not always up to snuff, but for a quick fix they will do the job.  Some even have some geared towards the military such as flag cases and medal display cases.<!–adsensestart–>Michale’s has a really cool flag case with a lower shadowbox to display medals…very in expensive and has the ability to display two items.   Also what’s nice about purchasing a shadow box at one of these stores is they also sell all embellishment kits to decorate your shadowbox even more.  I mean they have just about every thing you can think of to decorate you military shadow box.  Some of the smaller shadowboxes will cost around $15 and the larger ones coming in around $85.  The flag display cases also have a range of $20-$50 depending on the size.  Again, keep in mind that the quality of these cases are on the lower grade. By lower grade I mean the aesthetically speaking they are machined made and may not be the most attractive shadowboxes on the market, but will serve the purpose to display your items without breaking the bank.

As mentioned through out my blog…choosing a shadow box should be an experience to enjoy as shadowboxes are something that’s going to be displayed for a lifetime for everyone to see.  I myself love hand made military shadowboxes, but I also know that not everyone’s budget is the same. Not to mention that like myself I have kids and having a $400 military shadow box in the front room is always a gamble.

If you in the market for a cheap an in expensive shadow box…check out your local crafts store and they just might have what you need. You could possibly build military shadow boxes from scratch just with the materials in a craft store.
