Seashell Photo Stand
Summer is winding down and soon it will be only a memory. I’m sure your phone is filled with pics of summer fun under the sun… playing in waves, catching sunsets, and sandy beach days. Here is a great way to display these happy times around your home to keep your memories alive. Collect any sea treasures this summer? If so, great. If not, simply head back to the sand again. For this seashell photo stand, all you need are some seashells, sturdy wire, scissors, a pencil, and some photographs.
MATERIALS YOU’LL NEED.
- Seashells
- Sturdy wire
- Scissors
- Pencil
- Some photographs (landscape orientation pics or Polaroids work best for these)
SEASHELL PHOTO STAND INSTRUCTIONS.
1. First cut a piece of wire about 12 inches long and fold it in half to establish the center. Place a shell on top of it centered. Pull the wire sides up and twist them together so it becomes tight around your seashell.
2. Next take one side of your wire (towards the bottom closest to shell) and loop it around your pencil twice, do the same with the other piece of wire. This should create two loops.
3. You should have some tail ends left, just wrap those around under your loops to secure it more and trim off excess wire.
4. Then pick your favorite photos and place them between your two loops. That’s it. Have fun with it, make some for family and friends. However you make them just enjoy it!
BY THE WAY.
You can embellish the shells any way you’d like before wrapping them with the wire. Glitter, paint, decoupage… just use your creativity!
