Seashell Christmas Tree Canvas Decor

DIY Seashell Christmas Tree Canvas Decor - Kid Craft Idea

Seashell Covered Christmas Tree Decor

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!

Ready to make it happen? Let’s get to it! All the details you need to know, can be found in the FULL seashell craft tutorial below!

Happy crafting, my dear friends! Please don’t forget to tag us on Facebook or Instagram so we can see your awesome seashell covered Christmas tree in action! I seriously can’t wait to admire your beautiful holiday beach tree decor creations!

Directions:

  • First things first – on your painter’s canvas, lay out your seashells to get the Christmas tree pattern look. Arrange them until you are satisfied with how they lay on the canvas. Your seashell design should look like a pyramid/triangle.
  • The next step is only for the ADULTS to handle. Get the glue gun hot and ready.
  • Go ahead and hot glue the shells, onto the canvas, in the design you just made.
  • When done attaching the seashells to the canvas, let the hot glue dry completely before moving on.
  • To finish the project – paint your tree and add some embellishments to really make it stand out for Christmas.
  • Don’t forget to add a star on the top and some brown on the bottom for the stem.
  • Now display your seashell Christmas tree decor piece proudly for ALL to see!
