Use those shells you found on the beach to create a great frame for your favorite pictures.

Steps

  1. Get 2 pieces of cardboard that are about the length of a frame that you can fit your photo in.
  2. Make a straight rectangle in the middle of the two cardboards with a ruler. Cut the rectangle out (the rectangle has to be a bit bigger than the size of your photo).
  3. Keep one rectangle and throw the other one out.
  4. Cover the frame and rectangle with acrylic paint (any color).
  5. When the paint is dry, spread glue onto the frame using a paintbrush.
  6. Get lots of different kinds of shells and lay them on the glue all over the frame. Set the frame to dry.
  7. Once the glue dries, slip a photo between the two cardboards and glue the two cardboards shut. Get the rectangle and add it to the back (You could tape the rectangle if it keeps falling out).

Warnings

  • You won't be able to change the photo in the frame because the cardboard frame will be glued shut.
