Take Home Beach

My husband and I went on our honey moon in Florida. We spent most of our time on the beach, so I decided to bring a piece of it home. I love finding seashells, and thats where this started.

Here is just some of the loot I found at the beach, (Siesta key, and Casperson)

When we got home I spread all my shells out on my living room floor and got to work. 

And this is how it started. 

I turned the sand dollar so that the little urchin covered the broken part. 

Once I had this I started hot gluing them down. That took forever, and I would suggest tweezers for those little shells. 

I had brought home a small container of sand, once I was done gluing all the shells, I got out the modge podge. I modge podged sections and then dusted on sand, over and over until it was completely sanded all the way around, I let a little bit get on the shells so it looked like the beach. After I was satisfied with how it turned out, I sealed the whole thing with Acrylic High Gloss sealer. 

There it is, all finished. Now all thats left to do is find the perfect beach picture to put in it.
