On your next trip to the beach, let the kids collect some shells and make a frame to remember the trip!

What You Need:
  • Big, small, and tiny shells. All different shapes and designs and colors.
  • Hot glue gun and glue
  • Frame (I got a little wooden one for 98 cents!!)
Step 1: Collect shells.

Step 2: Choose which favorite shells to use.

Step 3: Design.
  • Have your little ones help design your frame, but you will probably want to do the work ... (Hot glue ...)
  • I put the larger shells first, then filled in some smaller ones, and finished with the tiniest ones going on last. 


Step 4: Choose your favorite picture and voilà!
