I know we are still getting to know each other, but one of my favorite things in the world- is the beach! It’s beauty and serenity is intoxicating. So naturally, I love to recreate that feeling at home whenever possible.
Merge that with my wall art fetish, and I present to you- Water Color Sand Dollar Shadow Box!
Things you’ll need:
-Shadow Box
-Sand Dollars or Sea Urchins
-Metallic Watercolor Pallet
First grab your brush (or Q-tip), cup of water and your pallet- let’s get started!
Second, take your first sand dollar (or sea urchin) and begin painting. I love these watercolors because the shimmer is present but not overwhelming. I choose to paint each one slightly different. For me- that looked like using less water and more strokes within the color similar colors.
Third, combine all 9 pieces on top of the shadow box to arrange before gluing anything down. After you have them spaced apart to your liking, begin gluing them down. Make sure to include a generous amount of glue to each one, and hold it for a minute to ensure proper bonding.
I use hot glue for most projects but there are a few other options as well. Gorilla glue, tacky glue or an all adhesive glue would work as well.
I hope you love your Chic Coastal Wall Art as much as I love mine 🙂
