Easy kids craft tutorial

On friday we went to the beach. We collected all kinds of beautiful seashells. So yesterday, we were at home with a big box of shells, and no idea what to do with them.

So we took out the clay (the cheap, air-drying kind from Hema) and rolled it flat, used a cookie cutterto cut out hearts and pressed the shells in them. And voilà! Decorative and easy! The perfect kids craft for a rainy summer day!

The artist herself was proud of her work and didn't mind posing for a picture for mommy's blog... ;-)

    Hi, These are beautiful! Do the shells need to be glued or do they stay on the clay without gluing? If they were to be hung on the wall, would the shells stay on? I love this idea!

      it's air drying clay.press the shells in when the clay is soft.it hardens later. Michaels sells it too. the clay is white.poke a hole before drying.

    How big are your hearts? 5 inches or 8 inches?
