Seashell Angel
- Total Time Needed:

-
- Seashells
- Craft glue or hot glue gun
- Acrylic paint and paintbrushes
- Fishing line
- Instructions
-
-
Lay out your collection of seashells. Try different combinations to get the right shapes, but basically each angel is made of a medium-sized fan-shaped shell (such as a scallop, lucina or clamshell), a small, round-bodied shell (such as a moon, top, bubble or cowrie shell), and a small bowl-shaped shell (such as an ark, tellin or cockleshell).
-
Use a scallop shell for the angel's dress, then glue on a cowrie shell for her head and a small cockleshell for her bonnet.
-
Once the glue dries, paint on a face and hair and tie or glue a loop of fishing line around the back of the bonnet for a hanger.

- Tips:
- If you'll be making angels at the beach, use craft glue; if you decide to tote your shells home to assemble, a hot glue gun works even better (parents only).
- Variations:
- Angels also make great holiday ornaments.
