Beach Wall Art

 Monday, Monday! Mondays are always my catching-up-on-housework day. BOO. Luckily, my Husband took tomorrow off so we can all go to Six Flags! So lookin' forward to that. 

 I had to repaint the bathroom this weekend, because NO ONE told me that you're not supposed to use flat paint in the bathroom! So if you DIDN'T know that-there ya go! It peels off. So I picked up the same color but in Semi Gloss and spent a good portion of Saturday painting.

 After I finished, I realized that I needed some wall art. So after throwing around a few ideas in my head, I thought this up!


Super simple....you just take a Dollar Tree picture frame


And some shells, also found at the Dollar Tree. Hot glue a shell to the glass, and there ya go! Totally cute Bathroom Wall Art!

(See that super cute faux wainscoting going on down there? One of my first projects in our house!)

 Cost Breakdown
4 Frames-$4.00
Pack Of Shells-$1.00
Total-$5.00!

Woohoo!

    Love it. I always bring back shells when we go to the beach but never quite know what to do with them.

    I love the way it looks like the shells are floating. Super idea to glue directly on the glass. I wouldn't have thought of that!

    Love this! My kids just brought me back a bunch of sand dollars from their camping trip with their grandparents and I have been wondering what to do with them. Something like this would be perfect! Thanks so much for sharing on The Creative Spark!
