I've been totally enraptured with living near the seashore, and tend to carry home shells, sea glass, and found objects nearly every day with my 3 year old son Leon.
Now that the holidays are fast approaching - I wanted to share a sweet and simple idea that anyone can make this season!
You will need:
- Flat stones or clam shells
- White acrylic paint and a brush (optional)
- Marvelous Multi-Purpose Markers by OOLY
You can either 'prime' your shells and stones with two coats of acrylic paint as I did, or keep them unpainted for designing.
I have been using OOLY markers and paints for year, and these multi-purpose markers are great for drawing on natural materials. I would even say they worked even better on my unpainted shells - so the less prep work - the better ;)
Some easy ideas for round stones are penguins and snowmen. Clam shells lend themselves very well to hand lettering!
These festive stones and shells can be displayed on tables or shelves this winter. I tend to always leave my decorated shells out on the front stoop to greet passersby.
I hope you enjoyed this fun idea, and don't forget to say hi on all my social media pages @LinzerLane - as I've been posting ideas like a mad woman lately! (it must be all that fresh air by the sea). And give a friendly look over to OOLY as well - as their newsletters are always a joy to open!
