Seashell Frame

Last summer we made this twig frame below and this year we wanted to do something a bit more beach-y!

• http://make-it-your-own.com/nature-finds-twig-photo-frame/

Materials

• Wooden frame (you can find these inexpensively at craft and dollar stores)
• Glue gun/glue
• Seashells

We always find these items helpful too:

• Smock
• Craft tray

Directions

• With an adult, collect seashells.  We took ours home and washed them in a soapy solution and allowed them to dry overnight.  However, you could also purchase them.

• Don your smock.

• Glue your shells onto your frame.

• Allow to dry and pop in a picture of yourself at the beach!

Purpose

• Getting out into nature

Safety Notes

• We suggest that you wear a smock and use a craft tray to protect your clothing and surfaces.
• Use a glue gun with care and direct adult supervision/guidance.
• Small items such as shells can be a choking hazard therefore be sure to keep them out of the reach of children ages 0-3 years of age or those that tend to put things into their mouths.
