Beach Holiday Keepsake

Make a special beach holiday keepsake from your beach finds and use your holiday photos too! A lovely display of your beach holiday!

We’ve been to the beach a month ago, and brought back some pretty sea shells, rocks and awesome memories!  So we made a special keepsake from it, to pretty up our home and remind us of that fun holiday.

  
This was a collaborative project: I did start and finish it, but the kids helped with the shell and sand decorations.

  
We reused old wooden frames like this with two shades of teal-colored paint.

  
The background was painted like this.

  
Then the shells and sand were added.

  

I color copied some of our holiday photos and deco-podged them to the frames.

  
I added some crushed Mielie corn as a frame around the pics and around the wooden frames too.

And that is it! A lovely beach holiday keepsake to be hung on the wall for all to enjoy.
