While staying with my family, we got to go to two different beaches. The shells were plentiful there. My sister and I gathered them in a plastic bag and brought them home with us. Now...What to do with these goodies?
At a thrift store downtown, my Mom found this shadow box type thing. It contained one lonesome starfish. My mother was gathering things to make a beach themed school room. She is a genius! She suggested we beach this shadow box up.
Using Elmer's white glue, I glued these round pieces of colored glass to the frame. I also glued on some shells and rocks. I am actually surprised it is holding up! I took three of my biggest shells and three photo booth snapshots of my sister and I, and tried to stick them together with a glue stick.
No cigar.
Mom suggested using mounting tape. GENIUS! The mounting tape did the trick. I also used mounting tape to mount those three shells to the inside of the frame. Then I used the regular Elmer's glue to glue the rest of the stuff. Now that was a super duper fun project!
Over many midnight episodes of "Three's Company", I finished this Sashay scarf. Aunt Lois showed me the ropes for these. These are a real blast to make too. They look like a lot of work, but are pretty easy, most of the effect is in the yarn itself! :)
