Decorative shadowbox serving tray

I was looking for a cool gift that was creative, cost effective and had a personal touch. This what I came up with. I've gotten many compliments on it, per the owner. So decided to do an instructable on it.
The cool thing is you can make it for birthdays, anniversaries, and special milestones. Also contents can have significant meaning that only recipient understands and appreciates.
 

Step 1 Materials

Shadowbox (I used a 14 x 17 size)
A pair of decorative handles with screws
Pictures
Sentimental or Souvenier type items (Tourist maps, coins, booklets, keychains, cassettes, tickets, a tooth, anything and everything that can provoke a memory and fit in the shadowbox.)
velcro or double stick tape
Self stick felt pads (1/2 inch or so)
Drill
Screwdriver
A sheet of paper
A Marker
A Ruler
Paper towels and glass cleaner
