First of all, thank you so much for all of your sweet comments about my painted jars! I’m always amazed at how some of my most simple and easy projects are the most liked. To continue with my beach theme bathroom project I decided to make some more accessories.
A frame and candle embellished with crushed shells
Supplies:
Crushed Shells
Mod Podge
White Paint
Unfinished Frame
Candle
Spray Adhesive
I don’t have it pictured but after applying mod podge to the frame I gave it a quick spray of adhesive just to make sure the shells didn’t fall off.
I painted the frame, then once dried applied the mod podge, adhesive, and shells in sections.
I used the same method with the candle, but unlike with the frame I had to allow each section to dry completely or the shells would roll right off. Trust me, I found out rather quickly that patience is important when doing the candle.
And there you have it..a beautiful frame and candle for my guest bathroom
I hope everyone has a wonderful week! I will be studying for finals, but hopefully I’ll have a new recipe to post in a few days.
Please check out my link party page here to see where I’m linking up

They are SO pretty!!! I have been working on a huge shell mirror for my bathroom (that my husband thinks is kind of crazy) and I love this version with the crushed shells! Thanks for sharing.

This is really pretty! I love the tiny shells vs. those big ones I see a lot.

Great project. We are going to the beach in a few weeks and we always find tons of shells. This would be a great way to use some of them and make a keepsake of the trip.

This is so fun and pretty! I can't believe you did this with mod podge and spray adhesive – as in, no grout and official mosaic materials necessary. Gorgeous and definitely something I want to try – maybe even with some shells collected on a vacation so I can claim it's "personalized"! : ) I'm your newest follower!

Wow, those are sooo gorgeous! I have been trying to come up with crafts to use all of the seashells we picked up on our beach vacation this year; I actually posted about three of my ideas here: https://oneartmama.blogspot.com/2011/08/she-sells-seashells.html
Anyway, I will have to crush up some of the ones I have left over and try this!! I love mod podge!
