Ocean View Shadow Box
One thing I love about going to the beach or on vacation are the memories that we make. This ocean view shadow box is a perfect way to keep the memories alive and display in your home for others to enjoy as well. With fall on its way, it is easy to forget about those seashells that your kids collected and are still stuffed in the bottom of the beach bag. Take them out, print your favorite vacation picture from this summer, and enjoy the memories all year long.
I always seem to come home with seashells, postcards, room keys, etc. and but don’t always use them but don’t want to throw them away either. Sometimes they end up sitting in a drawer and are forgotten. Now not only can we enjoy the memories but also others who visit us in our home. The beach is one of my favorite places and I never want to forget those good times.

Your kids can also get involved with this and share their ideas on how to remember their summer vacation. It is easy for them as well to help you create and put it together. Not that school has started, it’s never a bad thing to look back and smile on summer memories.
I love being able to look at this shadow box and smile on fond memories of a wonderful trip. I know that you and your family will be able to do the same as well.

Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
Where did you find your shadow box?
How do you make sure the sand doesn't spill out any?
I made one of these with a photo from a magazine and sand and shells that I found. The only way I could get it to stay mostly in place, was by hot gluing the back onto the frame. However sand still leaks out the bottom.. How did you get your sand to keep from falling out?? Where is the tutorial in this tutorial? I just see a picture...
