Show & Tell - Altered seashells

October 23rd, 2008

I’ve been putting together a little care package for my nieces and made these altered seashells for them. When they were here visiting over the summer we stayed at the beach. The girls had collected a whole bunch of shells. I thought it would be a fun to alter a couple and send to them as a reminder of our fun summer together.

This was super easy to do and I think this would be a really awesome project to do with kids. For these I painted on 2 coats of gold metallic paint and used white tacky glue to adhere all the embellishments. I also used a Sharpie fine-tip marker to write on the inside of the shells. Thanks for stopping by today and checking out my altered seashells. XOOXO
