It seems only natural that now that we live in Florida, I start sharing some inexpensive seashell themed crafts on the blog!

So with that being said – today I present to you our Seashell Owls Kid Craft idea! Perfect for little hands AND it doubles as awesome decor pieces too. Hot glue some string to the back for adorable Christmas tree beach themed ornaments or make them into awesome gift tags to be used all year long!

Whatever you decide to do with your “hoot-tastic” pieces – I hope you have fun making them!!! Happy crafting my friends!!!

Supplies:

* Seashells – any size, shape, store bought or even ones found at the beach!
* Colorful Cardstock
* Scissors
* Small Wiggle Eyes
* Hot Glue Gun
optional – craft paint, rhinestones, glitter etc.

Directions:

* First {if you like} paint your seashells. Since our seashells already had a great color to them, I left them alone. You are more than welcome to do whatever you like!
* Next grab your cardstock. Cut out a small beak, wings and pieces to go around each owl’s eyes. Repeat for each piece you want to make.
* Now get the hot glue gun hot and ready. Go ahead and glue your cardstock pieces to the front of your seashell, along with the wiggle eyes.
* Add any other embellishments you see fit and set aside to let it dry completely.
* Once dry – display!
