Tips and Tricks

  • All colors can be mixed together. Simply mix your favorite color in a separate container.

How it is done:

  • Cover your work area and lay out the materials. The shells must be clean and dry so that the paint adheres properly.
  • First, arrange the shells roughly on the frame. Then secure them to the frame with hot glue. Place the shells close together so that the frame is completely covered. Let them set briefly.
  • Use a paintbrush to paint the shells however you like.
  • Let the painted frame dry completely, and then put the photos and the glass back in.
