Get Crafting:
- Plug in your hot glue gun on a heat-proof surface, laying down a paper towel or piece of cardboard to catch any hot glue that drips.
- Lay out all your seashells and choose the ones you want to use. If you have ones that are different shapes and sizes, you can bring a unique feel to your DIY seashell picture frame.
- Place your picture in the frame so you can see your final product come together.
- Start gluing! Add your bigger shells to the corners of the frames for some dimension. Then, lay out the smaller frames in rows along your picture frame. The bigger your frame, the more shells you will need!
- If you like, use pearls, ribbon, and fun summer stickers to create a DIY seashell picture frame that’s truly one of a kind!
- For best results, leave your DIY seashell picture frame flat to dry for at least 12 hours.
