A lot of beach vacations end with a bag of shells for me. I recently brought a bunch of beach themed crafts to GMT. This is one of them...it's super simple, but a fun way to use some of those shells.
I bought a 1 1/2 foot board and had the home improvement store cut it down to squares. I painted it white and then I took a regular kitchen sponge and figured out what size square would be the right one for 8x8. In this case, it ended up being about 1 1/2 inch. I took some blue paint and sponge pressed it down. I liked the 'holes' left from the sponge stamp, but you can go back and paint it to be a solid square. Afterwards I added two different kinds of shells I have. You could also just paint the same shell two different colors.....or use bottle caps or sea glass....whatever is around.
