Whether you live on the coast or not, here's a simple way to re-create the beauty of nature and hold onto memories of happy, relaxing days spent at the beach.
These shadow box frames are available at art and craft shops. I painted mine white but it would look fine left natural.
I removed the backing and glued some beachcombing finds, shells, feathers, driftwood, rope and pebbles randomly to the board using strong wood glue, it seems to work well on the heavier pieces such as pebbles.
I secured the board back into the frame.
Stand on a shelf or hang on a wall.
Happy beachcombing!
I love shadow boxes too, yours is delightful!

Great idea. I was hoping for a sunny weekend to go pick up a few shells on the beach for a little summer decoration, I might need to pick up a few more for a little shadow box project now!
ReplyDeleteI gave away a shadowbox not long ago. Now I am sorry I did.
ReplyDeleteI came across a deep-sided frame I had stashed away in a cupboard the other day. It would be perfect for something like this x
ReplyDeletea lovely idea which I must try.
