Today I’m sharing an easy beach themed Christmas tree craft idea that you can do either with your child this weekend or by yourself.
Regardless of who makes it, it’s a super fun and a rather easy craft to do from start to finish! Not to mention, it only requires some seashells, a large blank painter’s canvas and some craft paint – that’s it! AND if you happen to have some left over seashells from a previous beach vacation – this Christmas tree craft would make a great vacay keepsake to make and display in your home! Just think of it as a great talking piece as well!
