Seashell Memory Frame Keepsake!

 Seashell Memory Frame Keepsake! We took a trip to the Gulf of Mexico in June. It was so much fun! We soaked in the sand and sun! I loved it.  I can totally see myself becoming an old lady beach bum! I also totally love collecting sea shells.  But what to do with them besides throwing them in a box or bag? I decided to make a keepsake memory frame! I had this chunky wood frame from Michael's. ( I did a rolled paper frame here ) Anyway, this is way faster! All you need is an unfinished wood frame, shells and hot glue!  I didn't prearrange where to put them. I just put some hot glue on a shell and then stuck them on randomly! Trying to give all the frame one single layer of shells.  Then layered on additional shells...coral bits...and even a crab claw!  Put some burlap in the center...  And put our treasured Sand Dollar...  Right in the center of the frame!  I love the texture and the simplicity!  ...
