By Kim Layton 1 Comment

painted-seashell-accessoriesHello! My name is Melissa Mortenson and I’m the girl behind the Polka Dot Chair Blog! My blog, named after a chair in my craft room is in it’s 6th year of sharing creative ideas with readers! I’m so excited to be here today to share with you this fun summer craft idea!

I just used seashells that I bought at the craft store but you could do this for even less if you use ones that you collect yourself on the beach.

To begin, paint each of the shells with Nail Polish! Yep, you heard me right, nail polish is perfect for paining sea shells, it still lets the natural texture of the shell show through, dries quickly and comes in lots of fun colors.

   My daughter and I sat down and painted all of the shells one afternoon.

Just be careful the hot glue can bend your headband, so work slowly. seashell-ringTo make the rings and hair clips, fill the shell in with hot glue as shown above, then glue the clip/ring to the back. seashell-hair-clipseashell-headband   I think the headband is my favorite! Thanks for having me today Kim! I hope that you all will stop by my blog sometime and say “hello”
