Crafting with Shells

I love shelling and crafting as you know.
 One of my very favorite things to do is to craft with kids and teens. They always come up with wonderful ideas and designs. I am forever inspired.
Today.....
Kristin, Samantha,Gabby and Matt will show us how they craft shell picture frames.
 They have been to the beach and have gathered many shells.
 They have washed them and now they are ready to craft.
Supplies:
 A picture frame, shells, glue gun and gun sticks.
(We are using the glue gun for a quick project. E6000 will give your shells a permanent bond to your picture frame but is not real kid friendly and requires more time and patience.) 
Ready set go.....
 They are all working very hard. Each one placing their shells right where they want them.
 Arranging and gluing! Who will finish  first?
Matt finishes  first with a wonderful design. 
His shells are placed on the bottom of his frame and half way up the sides.
 This picture frame turned out great. 
The girls are still working very hard getting their designs just right.
Samantha finishes her mirror. Fabulous!
Gabby made two, one for her mom and one for herself.
 Both are wonderful.
Kristin finishes with yet another fantastic design.
 
They all started with the same picture frames, same supplies and each person
 made their picture frame oreganal.
Here they are Gabby, Samantha, Kristin and Matt, very talented shell picture frame designer's.
