Step 1 – Prepare the materials
Collecting shells from a beach is a wonderful activity but you can also source shells from many shops.
Step 2 – Paint the shells
Painting the shells is a really simple and enjoyable task. Children may chose to stick with single colours or alternatively they may chose to design their own patterns.
Step 3 – Sprinkle with glitter
As each shell is painted, sprinkle the shell with glitter. It’s important to sprinkle the glitter before the paint dries to enable the glitter to stick to the paint.
Step 4 – Admire the results
Painted glitter shells are beautiful and can be used in lots of different ways. They can be used as decorative accessories, they can be used as part of games where you win shells based on specific criteria, they can be used in hide-and-seek games, or they make a wonderful addition to any fairy garden!
