Learn how to make an easy seashell wall hanging for your home using your shells from the beach.

When my little guy started preschool last year, every day he came home with something from nature – leaves, acorns, sticks. You name it, and he brought it inside.

I finally put a nature bowl in the mudroom where he could drop off all of his goodies when he entered the house.

Wherever he goes, he always finds something for his nature bowl.

This year we were lucky to vacation by the beach, and my son collected more seashells than even his nature bowl could hold.

Below are the instructions for making seashell wall art for your home.

Clean Your Seashells

First, you’ll want to clean your seashells well.

Then I let them sit in a bucket of one part water and one part hydrogen peroxide.

Choose or Make Your Background

For my wooden background, I picked up a decorative piece from Hobby Lobby.

It was pallet wood that had a drift wood look, so it was perfect.

You could make the background with scrap wood too.

Choose Your Shape

I decided to do a heart because we just love the beach.

To get the shape, I drew half the heart on a piece of scrap paper.

Then, I folded the paper in half and cut. This way both sides of the heart were symmetrical.

Next, I cut out the heart and traced it onto the background wood. how to make heart shaped wall art from seashells

Arrange Your Seashells

The next step is to arrange your seashells onto the shape you drew.

I started by doing the perimeter of the shape.

I lined up the curves of the seashells with the curves of the heart, filling in smaller seashells where I needed.

Materials

Instructions

Cut the cardstock or paper to the size of the backing of your frame and glue it to the backing.
Glue the backing of the frame
Place card stock on frame backing
Using a pencil, trace a heart shape (or any other shape) onto the cardstock/paper
Using your larger seashells first, glue them in any place inside the heart shape. Make sure to even distribute the larger pieces within your shape
Once the larger seashells are done, you can start gluing on the medium size ones. This ensures that the big and medium size seashells are evenly distributed within your shape, as they will be more eyecatching than the smaller ones. The smaller ones are for filling in the gaps and for creating clean edges along the border of the heart shape.
Using the smallest shells, glue them to fill in the gaps between the rest of the shells and also the border of the shape.
Optional: you can use decorative pearls to add some extra texture and shine to your artwork

And voila, your beautiful beach inspired seashell art is ready to be displayed! Enjoy and hope to SEA ya soon!
