Vacation crafts

Let these spellbinding sea shell crafts remind you of your last trip to the beach and encourage you to take many, many more this summer!

Travel

In spite of all my efforts to keep vacation “collections” to a minimum, we always end up with a few scavenged keepsakes at home. The beach can generate the most prodigious assemblages, and previously we’ve stuffed all the shells and dried seaweed and sand into a shoebox. Angie at The Country Chic Cottage came up with a much cuter idea. Her beach in a bottle craft is kid-friendly to make and to save.
