These one-of-a-kind sea shell picture frames are the perfect way to display photos of all the great times you had during Camp Fun! We used colorful glitter glue to attach real sea shells and dyed starfish to basic wood frames to create these colorful picture frames for Under the Sea week!

Set out your supplies and choose the sea shells and starfish you’d like to include on your picture frame. You’ll want to remove the glass and frame backing before doing this craft.

Add a generous dab of glitter glue to the frame. You’ll want to make it big enough so that it expands a little beyond the size of the sea shell you put on top of it. This will make sure that the sea shell edges stick to the frame.
