Do you often collect sea shells on beach vacations but then wonder what to do with them? Use them to make this beach themed game. With a canvas and a few common crafting supplies, this project serves as a souvenir and a boredom buster!
Made by: Melanie East
Time: 10 minutes
Level: Beginner
Size: 5” by 7”
Here's what you need:
- Glue Dots® Craft Dots™
- Glue Dots® Mini Dots™
- 5" by 7" canvas
- 10 sea shells, 5 painted one color and the other 5 painted another color
- Ribbon scraps
Here's what you do:
Use Mini Glue Dots to adhere the vertical ribbon scraps to the canvas.
Repeat step one to adhere the horizontal ribbon scraps to the canvas.
Have fun playing tic-tac-toe!
Carry the supplies with you on your beach vacation and create this game while on your trip. Purchase a canvas with an opening in the back (rather than a flat canvas) to hold the sea shell game pieces when not in use.
