Ideas for Crafts Using Your Template
Templates are great for kids crafts because they’re very much a starting point for ideas and creativity. I’m sharing a few ideas on how to decorate this paper shell but I’m certain that once you get started you’ll also come up with lots of ideas yourself. I normally find that there’s nothing quite like a rummage through your craft supplies to get the ideas flowing!
Colouring: The absolute easiest and go to activity for decorating has to be colouring. Choose your favourite colouring pens, crayons or paints for a simple activity.
Shell Suncatcher: Use this template to make our sweet shell suncatcher craft that looks great displayed in windows.
Textured Mosaic: This would be a really nice one to do while actually looking at shells as so many of them have different textures. Cut out different textured material such as corrugated card or sandpaper and use this to decorate your shell. You might also want to print this onto yellow paper to give it a traditional shell colour as it’s background.
Bleeding Tissue Paper: Bleeding tissue paper crafts can be a little bit messy but I think that the effect that they make definitely make the risk worth it! If you haven’t tried making kids crafts with bleeding paper before then check out our post this bleeding tissue paper fall tree to find out how to make it.
