HOW TO MAKE A SEASHELL FRAME

Basic Supplies:
Frame
Seashells
~ assorted types and sizes
Focal ~ in this project I used a Star fish
Adhesive ~ you can use glue stick or any adhesive that will dry clear. For this project I used industrial strength E6000. You can find it online and at most hobby or hardware stores.
Plastic disposable gloves
Primer ~ Spray or brush on
Paint ~ Spray or bush on
Dust Mask

Note: If using E6000 industrial adhesive, be sure your work area is well ventilated.

If you will not be painting your frame, just give it a light sanding to give the glue something to "grab" onto.

Choosing a frame ~ This works for any type of frame, be it for photos, mirror, or black/chalk board, as long as you have ample room for the shells. I look for frames with ample recessed areas for a more polished look.
