Creations, Seaside Shell Tray
Welcome to the monthly Creative Craft Hop
hosted by Andrea from Design Morsels
If you’re following the hop in order,
I must tell you that Chas is a hard act to follow,
she always shares beautiful creative creations!
I’m at the beach this week,
and to kick off the summer season
I decorated a tray with seashells
This wood box originally came with a child’s puzzle inside
I saved it and gave it a coat of white chalk paint
and set it aside for another day when I felt crafty…
Like today!
I picked out a few large pretty shells from my craft stash,
heated up the glue gun
and got to work
Each side features one large shell on the center and on the corners,
with sea glass or colored beads in between
This is an easy and relaxing craft that goes together quickly…
You can completely cover the sides,
or just use a few shells as I did
All 4 sides are alike yet different
A view from the top
It can be used as a beverage tray
A vanity tray to hold perfume or jewelry
It can be a decorative tray for trinkets or collectibles
Or a coffee table tray for books
I have tutorials for some of the other items pictured on the tray,
just click on the links below to access them

So fun and perfect for your beach house Jenna! What a wonderful box to upcycle too. I love how you’ve styled it as a beverage tray, to hold jewelry, knickknacks and with your mermaid book! Enjoy your beach time this week ♥

Jenna, your shells and sea glass are beautiful. Using them to decorate a tray is a great idea. It turned out so pretty. I love all the ways you used the tray. And you reused it from a package which is even better. Enjoy your week at the beach.
Thanks so much Carol! Isn’t it fun and gratifying to upcycle something?
