A fun art project… bring a little bit of the beach home.

Hi! Paige here! When we working on the Southern Living Idea House 2009 we really wanted to have lots of “ideas” throughout the house. Some were used in the article and some weren’t due to space. Here is one idea we still love. First, find a vintage frame (you know I love a vintage frame), some ribbon, and a few shells. We chose sand dollars for our project but any type of shell will do. Suspend the shell inside the frame and that is it! How easy was that!

Then choose the perfect place in your home to hang the piece. Anna Kay and I made two and stacked them on the wall in the staircase at the Idea House. It is a fun way to display a keepsake from your favorite beach vacation.
