How To Make A Seashell Covered Vase – Craft Tutorial

For the past few weeks, I have seen some fellow craft bloggers playing with the NEW Mod Podge Collage Clay that recently hit the market.

After seeing all their wonderful posts and DIY craft ideas, I decided I wanted to play with some too. {It’s like permanent frosting for your crafts!} So I headed to my local Michaels to scoop some up for my own craft collection and here we are today!

After playing with some ideas in my head, I came up with today’s super simple shell vase decor piece idea. All it takes is painting on the “glue material” and layering the seashells on top. Super easy stuff – even kids could do this!

I just love the fact that it was soooo easy and affordable! {with a coupon from Michaels, I spent less than $10 for ALL my supplies and I still have plenty of shell vase filler pieces and collage clay left to do another project!}

So below is my quick vase tutorial and my inspiration for you! Hopefully I inspire you to grab some of the new clay material and make a vase of your own today! Remember – it’s the perfect way to add some easy beach decor to your home, on the cheap!

Shell Covered Vase Craft Supplies:
* Large Flat Surface Glass Vase {I found mine at Dollar Tree}
* Flat Seashell Vase Filler Pieces {I got these at Target but Dollar Tree has some too}
* Mod Podge Collage Clay {Michaels or through through the posted Amazon Link}
* Flowers For Your Vase

Directions:
* First things first – make sure your vase is nice and clean on the outside. Run a dry cloth over it to remove any dust or lint.
* Next up – grab your modge podge bag and start working in small sections, to slather a good amount of the collage clay on the vase.
* Now, working it like a puzzle, place your shell pieces on top of the glue.
* Repeat this process until your vase is completely covered and you have the look you like.
* Once done, set aside the decorated vase to let the glue air-dry for 24 hours.
* Then use your new beautiful vase like you normally would. Perhaps even buy yourself some flowers as a pat-on-the-back for a job well done!
* Now display it proudly for ALL to see!
