Got a stash of seashells from the beach? Try our trio of crafty ways to use them! First, use small shells to create the ‘S’ of our ‘Sandy toes’ lettering – stitched alongside a photo of a sandy footprint, it’s a fab way to display a holiday pic! Next, create a box frame displaying favourite shells and stitched shells together. Our final idea is one which would make the perfect holiday memento. Use two scallop shells to create the cover of a mini book, binding fabric pages and treasured keepsakes. Enjoy!
