Framed Seashells

On Sunday we were planning on going on a little outing, but the weather was so nasty we decided to stay in and do some little projects around the house.

I started to organize my craft room, and ran across some frames I had put away before Christmas, with the intention of doing something with them when I had time.

I have to make time for things, because I never have spare time on my hands. I'm always doing or making something.

The frames were kinda ugly...

so I hit them with a few coats of bronze spray paint.

I needed an insert, like a backer board...

I cut cardboard to fit inside, coated it with tacky glue, and dusted them with sand.

I chose 3 appropriate sized matching shells...

and sprayed them with high gloss sealer.

My little project was coming together!

and there it is!

and I still have room to add a little something.

The longest part of the project was the drying times. Very simple, very easy!

Now I have to make the time to finish my list of projects, and it's pretty long.

First, I better get my crafty space ready to store more shells!
