Easy DIY Seashell Frame
This is a really simple craft project to make, but before we get started, I have answered a few common questions that people have when it comes to making a project like this.
What is the best glue to use for seashells?This particular tutorial calls for hot glue along with a hot glue gun. Weldbond and E-6000 would also be good choices, as would Gorilla Glue.
Can I use Mod Podge on seashells?Yes, you can use Mod Podge on your seashells to help to make them vibrant again. This is a good idea if your shells are old.
The star frame you see there is from a friend. I’ve had it on a shelf for a few years now and I thought it was time to up-cycle it. I love the color of it, but the stars had to go!
The first thing you’ll need to do to make this diy beach seashell frame is gather your supplies:
- Frame
- Seashells
- Hot glue gun
Start gluing the shells onto the frame. The glue dries quickly so you’ll want to do this fast!
That’s it! The diy seashell frame is ready to be placed somewhere as soon as you’re finished!
This is a quick craft. I think the whole thing took me 30 minutes from start to finish! So if you have old seashells laying around, or if you’re heading to the beach this summer don’t forget this easy and simple craft. This seashell frame added some texture and fun to my shelf! Oh and it was totally free!
