I love taking my kids to the beach. We have such fun and my car is proof of it, bringing back sand and new seashells every time. Seeing how their treasured shell collection was growing inspired me to display some of them. This idea was simple enough for my kids to pick their favorite shells and make keepsake ornaments. We’re so happy with how they turned out and can’t wait to decorate our tree! These could also be used as gift tags.
