The "Inspiration Aquarium"

Originally, I was trying to do this (from Pinterest):





And I didn't like the way my wax melted and I just left it out and looked at it and my boyfriend walked in the kitchen to check it out and he says "Babe, it looks like an under the sea thing" so there I went with that theme. (A plus to it was because my 2 yr. old is obsessed with fish. lol)



 And let me tell you, this was the biggest pain in the butt, EVER!!!  I went and got a 16x20 shadow box, for a 16x20 canvas, well inside the shadow box, it ISN"T 16x20.  So I chip away some of the wood in the shadow box (can't take it back now), still doesn't fit, then busted it, but still doesn't fit.  So I had to cut off the canvas fabric, cut down that wood, sand it, staple it back together, FITS!!!, and then nail the box back together, and finally hot glue the things that popped off back on and add some from chipping off some wax...
Like I had the biggest pain EVER! If you're interested in a "How To" leave me a comment, if you're brave enough to take this on! lol
