Hi there! Well summer is almost over and I hope you have lots of fun memories. When my sons were young we spent many vacations at the beach! It was so much fun building sandcastles, body surfing, and collecting shells. Well here is another idea I had with what to do with some of those shells you have been holding on to.

All you need for this project is shells, wooden box (you can find at any craft store) lots of shells, and get your hot glue ready! You can also use a old cigar box, or really almost any box you have!

I started by finding a large shell for the center of the top and the 4 sides. Once I glued those on....I just started adding the shells they collected. Just keep adding in the empty spaces..

You can fill in by adding smaller shells slightly on top of each other. This is such a wonderful way I found to use the shells the boys collected, and collect all those wonderful memories.

Enjoyed the project?

You can do it! Saved to your projects
