Sea treasure display case
Friday, April 4th, 2008No any practical function, just beautiful memory makeup ๐
Craft supplies
Unfinished display case from craft store
Acrylic paint – pink and blue (or your favorite colors), paintbrush
Colored sand (we used glittered one, it adds some “wetness” effect to display)
Shells and/or pebbles you brought from your vacation on the sea shore
Directions
Color wooden parts of case with your favorite colors, let it dry
Fill the bottom of the case with colored sand, mixing it artistically
Tip: you may want to fill the very bottom with regular sand so you don’t waste your glitter behind the frame
Cast shells and/or pebbles on the sand
Lock the case
Display proudly
One more tip: postpone making this craft if you are to move ๐ Shaking trucks may transform artistic piece into a mess!
