I found the shadow box frame at hobby lobby, painted it with some brown acrylic, craft paint & let it dry.
Cut foam pieces to fit inside box & glue with hot glue. Let dry.
Place flower inside the box & fasten by pushing extra wire into foam at base.
Arrange charms & cut head pins about 1/4in to fasten charms to foam & box. Gently press pins into foam.
Unwrap twine & measure to fit length & width of box. Cut 3 or 4 strips of twine for both length & width.
Use tacky glue to glue twine into corners of box where foam may be missing. Let dry.
Arrange photograph in box & cut 4 head pins to 1/4in to fasten photo to foam & box. Gently press pins into foam.
{you can use tacky glue to better secure photo}
Lock glass & frame in piece.
Lastly, add your anniversary date to the frame with either a sharpie or a fine-tip brush with acrylic paint.
FINÈ!

Good luck crafting!
