Before you begin, you will need the following materials:
* A variety of seashells, cleaned and dried
* A canvas or piece of wood (your desired wall art size)
* A hot glue gun with plenty of glue sticks
* A pencil
* A ruler
* A level
Instructions:
Step 1:
- Choose a design or pattern that you would like for your seashell wall art.
- You can create a simple design by arranging the seashells in a straight line or a more complex design by creating a mosaic.
Step 2:
- If you are creating a complex design, use the pencil and ruler to lightly sketch the design onto the canvas or wood.
Step 3:
- Once you are happy with the design, start gluing the seashells in place using the hot glue gun.
Tips for gluing seashells:
- Use a generous amount of glue so that the seashells are securely attached.
- Be careful not to burn yourself with the hot glue.
- If you are using a variety of sizes of seashells, start with the largest shells and fill in the gaps with the smaller shells.
- Step back occasionally to make sure that you like the overall look of the design.
Step 4:
- Once all of the seashells have been glued in place, use the level to make sure that the canvas or wood is hanging straight.
- If it is not, use some small nails to attach it to the wall.
Step 5:
- Enjoy your beautiful new seashell wall art!
