Description
Create beautiful geode shells for home decor, gifts, or party favors with this fun and easy crafting project.
Ingredients
- Clean seashells (variety of shapes and sizes)
- Acrylic paint (various colors)
- Small gemstones or glitter (for the geode effect)
- Glue (strong adhesive works best)
- Paintbrushes (flat and fine-tip)
- Sealer (spray or paint-on for durability)
- Tray or palette for mixing colors
Instructions
- Prepare Your Workspace: Set up a clean, flat surface and protect it with newspapers or a drop cloth.
- Clean the Seashells: Wash the shells thoroughly with soap and water and allow them to dry completely.
- Paint the Shells: Choose your base color and coat the inside of the shell using a flat brush.
- Add the Geode Effect: Once the paint is dry, apply glue in areas for “crystals” and sprinkle small gemstones or glitter onto the glued areas.
- Seal Your Creation: After everything is dry, apply a clear sealer to protect the shells and enhance shine.
Notes
You can customize the colors and embellishments to fit your personal taste. For a different base, swap seashells with driftwood or smooth stones.
