Shell Frame

Summer has officially ended and the public school year began. To remember this summer, I’ve created a shell frame for a picture that summarizes my favorite memories: the beach.

Virginia Beach doesn’t have the best seashells, but they’re precious nonetheless. I collected broken, imperfect seashells for this frame. I used watercolor paints to color the shells; watercolor dries fast and gives it a pretty color. Lastly, I glued the  (dry) shells using tacky glue on a $1 wooden frame I painted blue.

Simple and easy craft that both adults & children enjoy creating.
