Sadly, it's always the plates I really like that crash first, so of course I collect these beautifully-patterned scraps. Given that I'm terrible at making traditional mosaics with grout and planned designs, I made this project for those of us who are better at randomly scrapping together bits of our hoarded treasure stash. This way my plates have found new life on display.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScrap Happy Mosaic Shadowbox Project \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstructions: \u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eOutside, place your favorite broken plate or any patterned plate between two canvas cloths, and hammer gently to break into smaller pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRandomly place the broken plate pieces in the large compartment of a \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organizational-tools?limit=15\u0026amp;page=2\"\u003eshadowbox\u003c\/a\u003e until you are happy with your pattern.

Use a paper towel to immediately wipe up any stray resin drips. Pop any resin bubbles with a pin, then set shadowbox aside on a completely flat, level surface for at least 72 hours to cure. Consider also placing a bug screen over it while curing to avoid any unfortunate last-minute additions.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOnce cured, the shadowbox can be used flat as a small drink coaster or perfume bottle display, or can be put on your mantle as evidence of both your clumsiness and your thriftiness.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ctable style=\"width: 100%;\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"5\" cellpadding=\"5\"\u003e \u003ctbody\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd align=\"center\" width=\"25%\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn11.bigcommerce.com\/s-87od2q0wh1\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/Johanna_021-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd width=\"75%\"\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #cc8108;\"\u003eAbout Johanna:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #6e6f3c;\"\u003eFavorite Food: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eWatermelon\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #6e6f3c;\"\u003eRandom Fact: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eShe experiences déjà vu on a regular basis.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #6e6f3c;\"\u003eFavorite Quote: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e“If you want others to be happy, practice compassion.
