You could do a lot of different things to make this craft your own. Make a 3-D thank you note, make a journal entry about a vacation or the beach, or just make it decorative. Use seashells and other items you may see along the seaside.
Approximate Time: 30-45 minutes
Supplies:
- foam board
- rope
- seashells
- white glue
- hot glue
- pen or computer printed message
Instructions:
- Cut a piece of foam board to desired size.
- Add a note or a journal entry in the middle (optional). A good journal entry could be about a specific vacation or just about the seaside in general. You don't have to add anything if the craft will just be decorative.
- Glue or tape the message to the board if it is a computer print out, or write the message in pen if desired.
- Glue seashells around the board using white glue. Could also add sea weed, sand, etc.
- Use hot glue to attach rope around the edges of the foam board. Cut at a diagonal to fit, or leave loose ends to tie in a knot. I reinforced the cut ends with hot glue.
Enjoy the memories!
