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™](http://catalog.gluedots.com/item/consumer-products/craft-hobby/1014?plpver=1002)
- [Glue Dots® Mini Dots™](http://catalog.gluedots.com/item/consumer-products/craft-hobby/1015?plpver=1002)
- 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.
