Please, please, please, check out my giveaways:
I pondered how to keep a sea shell collection special before. While browsing the aisle of my local Family Dollar, I came across some frames that I though just might work for Catherine's first shell collection!I purchased two of these white square shadow boxes that were meant to be completed home decor pieces (they had bird tiles inside). At two bucks a piece, I thought they were "steals"! They are made from wood composite, but the detailing looks very nice and the bright white is perfect for a shell collection!
I pried the back off using a butter knife. Then I arranged Catherine's shells. (If you try this, keep in mind that the shells will shift when it's upright, so hold the back in place and lift it up a couple of times!) I reattached the back--using glue and tape because I managed to mangle the teeny tiny brads and didn't have any replacements.
I added Catherine's name, age, place, and time of visit to the back and it is already to hang on the wall!
