PAIR YOUR OWL CRAFT WITH —> DIY Watercolor Seashell Frame – Summer Kid Craft idea

Owl Seashell Craft Supplies:

• Free Seashell Printable {grab it on box.com}
• White Cardstock Paper {2 sheets per owl craft}
• Color Printer

Directions:

• First things first – grab our free seashell printable, listed above in the supply list.
• Next, go ahead and find it on your computer, right click and print the file on a single sheet of white cardstock. One print equals one owl craft. Print as many as you like but only use our file for personal use only please.
• Now that you have the printable, go ahead and color in the seashell design, however you like {I used a light shade of tan for mine.}
• When done coloring in the seashell piece, use your craft scissors to trim it out from the paper.
• Discard excess paper.
• Now grab your remaining cardstock paper and scissors.
• Cut/punch out large scallop eyes, a triangle nose and heart shaped feet.
• To finish off your Paper Seashell Owl, glue their cardstock pieces in place, on the seashell design.
• Use a marker to draw in pupils if need be on the eye cutouts.
• To finish it off, add the custom elements like lines of glitter glue and sequins.
• Then allow your piece to dry completely before you display your custom one-of-a-kind seashell owl piece proudly for all to see!
