Seashells are fun (and free!) souvenirs that are perfect for commemorating beach trips. If your kids have started a seashell collection of their own, this cute craft is an excellent way to add some charm to it!
Materials needed:
-Clean Seashell(s)
-Paint (color of your choice)
-Paintbrush
-Colored paper (color should match chosen paint color)
-Scissors
-Tape
-Googly eyes with self-adhesive
-Marker
Now that we have everything, let’s get crafting!
First, paint your seashell with your chosen paint color. I decided on this turquoise blue because it reminds me of the ocean.
Please note- it may be beneficial to paint the seashell with a layer of white first for more full and vibrant coverage.
Once painted, cut some tentacles out of the colored paper. You can make them squiggly or just straight! Fun fact: jellyfish tentacles can grow over 100 feet long in certain species.
Turn the seashell over and tape the tentacles to its rim like so:
Flip the seashell over again and stick on the googly eyes.
Finally, draw on a little smile between the eyes with a marker. How cute!
You can also make seashells look like crabs or fish to add to your seashell sea creature collection!
