Description
Create a delightful miniature beach scene to bring a touch of summer into your home. This fun craft is perfect for all ages and makes a unique decorative piece.
Ingredients
- Small glass terrarium or clear container
- Sand (fine or coarse)
- Miniature seashells and stones
- Artificial or dried plants (e.g., succulents, sea grass)
- Small figurines (e.g., beach umbrellas, sunbathers)
- Craft glue or hot glue gun
- Tweezers (optional, for precise placement)
- Water (if using live plants)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Base: Start by selecting your terrarium or container. Pour an even layer of sand into the bottom—about an inch deep. Feel the grains between your fingers.
- Arrange the Elements: Place your miniature seashells and stones in the sand. Use tweezers for delicate placements. Experiment with different arrangements until you find one that you love.
- Add Plants and Figurines: Position artificial or dried plants around the seashells to add depth and variety. Insert small figurines like beach umbrellas or sunbathers to bring your scene to life.
- Secure Everything: Once you’re satisfied with the layout, use craft glue to secure each piece. Allow the glue to dry completely before moving your terrarium.
- Final Touches: Add a sprinkle of sand or small decorative stones on top for a polished look. Optionally, include a tiny sign that says ‘Welcome to Paradise!’
Notes
Customize your scene further with holiday themes or incorporate fairy lights for added effect.
