DIY Watercolor Seashell Frame - Kid Craft Tutorial For Summer

Watercolor Painted Seashell Frame

It’s time for another kid craft tutorial on Glued To My Crafts and this one is in honor of summer!

If you live near a beach – this Watercolor Seashell Frame craft idea would be a great {and super cheap} keepsake frame to make with the kids today!

If you don’t live near a beach – no worries. I was able to find some white seashells at my local Walmart for a reasonable price {found in the aisle with the fake flowers and vases} Michaels is also a good place to find seashells for sale or even Amazon or Dollar Tree.

So friends… Are you ready to learn the full how to? Well – let’s stop “shelling” around and grab our supplies for this easy Seashell Frame Decor idea! You can find the FULL tutorial below!

Happy crafting, my dear friends! Don’t forget to share pictures of your beautiful seashell covered wood frames on our Facebook page! #gluedtomycrafts

DIRECTIONS:

  • First things first – paint your seashells with the watercolors. This is as simple as wetting the paint brush, dipping it in the various shades of watercolors and then on the seashells.
  • When done painting the seashells, let them dry completely in an undisturbed area.
  • Once those are dry enough, get the glue gun hot and ready. ADULT SUPERVISION IS REQUIRED ON THIS STEP!
  • Arrange and hot glue the seashells onto the wood frame. You might have to layer some on top of each other.
  • When done again, set aside the decorated frame to let it dry completely.
  • Now the final step! Fill your seashell picture frame with your favorite photo and display your hard work proudly for ALL to see!
