Hi Friends!

Today’s Coastal Craft With Seashells is in honor of All About Hope’s recent 2nd Anniversary and a nod to our founder’s LOVE of the ocean!!! We used a #2 cutout(use any number you’d like), seashells from our Eureka, CA trip (Pacific Ocean), and drew coastal scenes inspired by photos we took. Check it out below.

PREP

Print out the #2 , cut it out, and set it aside. Optional: Draw the 2 or any other number after creating your coastal scene.

SCENE

Draw your coastal scene, horizontally or vertically.
Add plants, rock formations, water, birds, etc.

NUMBER

After your scene is complete, glue the #2 with craft glue, or draw a large 2.
Add your seashells & sand dollars with a glue gun or heavy-duty glue.

*Break seashells to fit if necessary and add as many/little as you’d like.

THAT’S IT!

This is Naomi’s inspiration on the left and her finished craft.

* For fun we added 2 small globs of hot glue at the base of the “bonfire” and sprinkled the sand we found at the bottom of the bag which carried our shells.
