Quick, cute, and easy! Fun way to display your favorite beach and summer vacation photos!
Supplies:
Hot glue gun
1 hot glue stick
Seashells – They sell bags of them in craft stores or you can find your own at the beach!
Mini clothespins
Spray paint
Wire, string, or hemp to hang the photos on
And a few of your favorite photos!
First lay your clothespins on newspaper and lightly coat with a layer of spray paint. Let the pins dry for 30 minutes to an hour, flip over, and coat the other side. Let the paint finish drying for about another hour.
I wanted mine to have a beachy blue stain to them so I painted a light coat of blue acrylic paint and then wiped it off with a rag.
Once your pins are fully dry, pick out several seashells to use.
Place a dab of hot glue on the parts of the shell that will be touching the pin. Press the shell and pin together and hold for 30 seconds. Set the clips in a safe place to let the glue finish setting up.
Once all of your clips are finished, tack up some string, yarn, wire, etc. and hang your photos from it using your new seashell clips!
Thanks for stopping by!
