How to Make a Dance Pin Shadow Box
To make this personalized dance pin shadow box, you will need:
- Shadow Box Frame – I start with this 8×10 shadow box, but after a couple years of dance, I had to upgrade to this 11×14 shadow box (and now I have room for many more years!)
- Permanent Adhesive Vinyl. For the dancer, I used this black permanent shimmer vinyl (which I am obsessed with) and purple for the name. If you are just getting started building up your vinyl supply, I recommend this variety pack of permanent adhesive vinyl.
- Cricut Maker or Explore Cutting Machine and your standard cutting mat.
- These Weeding Tools for removing the excess vinyl.
- This scraper or something similar to adhere and smooth your vinyl to your wooden board.
- Transfer Tape for applying your vinyl

To make a personalized dance pin shadow box:
- First, create a new project in Cricut Design Space
- Then upload your SVG File and resize as needed. For the 8×10 shadow box, 8 inches in height is a good size to go with.
- Add the name to your design and place below the design making sure to stay with the box dimensions for the width.
- Then send your design to cut and prepare your cutting mats. If you are new to using adhesive vinyl, make sure to check out this detailed tutorial on using Cricut adhesive vinyl and layering adhesive vinyl.
- Apply your design to the front of the shadow box.
- Add a color piece of vinyl or cardstock to the back of your shadow box. I used this shimmer adhesive vinyl and applied it to the inside of the back of the frame.
- Add your dance pins.
I love the way this dance pin shadow box turned out! It’s such a great way to display (and not lose) all the competition dance pins. We’ve grown quite a collection over the years, and it’s been so fun to see this box fill up.
Before you go, please share this design on Pinterest – it’s quick to do and makes a HUGE impact to keep SVG Nation’s designs free to you.
