Beach Loving...

Here is a quick and EASY decor idea to quickly update your home for summer - it took less than 30 minutes to do and could be made easily under $5.

I saw these cute framed shells here,

and thought I could easily make my own, so here's what I did...

Materials:

• hot glue and gun,
• frame,
• decorative card stock,
• shells (thank you dollar store).

Cut card stock to fit the frame and put in before the glass (Glass will hide behind the cardstock).
Lay out your shells to their desired location on the cardstock.
Apply glue to the shells and adhere them to the cardstock. Move fast so the glue doesn't dry when you put the shells on but with precision so that your shells won't look sloppy - I bought extra cardstock in case I made a mistake.

Et Voila! You are done - Easy Right?

Beach Balls

Hello! So here's what I've got planned for today... Decorative Sea Shell Balls. They were easy and quick to get done. I have 3 monkeys to chase after and Mondays are so hectic. I thought this would be a great way to quickly update the home.

Decorative Ball:

• Shells, I found mine on the beach and the dollar store,
• Foam Decorative Balls,
• Hot Glue and gun.

One fabulous step: Glue shells on the foam balls!

Notice the third ball; after gluing the shells to the foam balls, I still had a lot of leftover shells. So I threw them into a round glass vase from the dollar store. They are about the same size as the foam balls and I think it turned out all right.
