Tie Dye Seashells

My oldest son has a love of collection seashells from the beach. I thought this craft would be right up his ally, he loved it so much! These tie dye seashells are such a fun one for lots of ages. They can also be turned into a necklace.

Here are the materials you’ll need:

1. Seashells
   • The whiter the shell the better. We tried this with darker shells and they don’t turn out as vibrant.
2. Shaving cream
3. Food coloring
4. Paper or glass plate
5. Toothpick
6. Paper towel

Directions:

1. Put a layer of shaving cream down onto your plate & add a few drops of food coloring. You’ll want to spread out the food coloring using your toothpick.

2. Put your seashells into the shaving cream face down. Tap it in a few times to make sure everything is completely coated.

3. Lift your seashell out of the shaving cream & wipe it off with paper towel. That’s all you have to do – how simple is that?!

4. You’re finished! You can also hot glue a ribbon onto the back to make your own tie dye seashell necklace :)

You could also add a layer of mod podge to the outside to give it extra protection. I recommend doing this if you will be keeping your seashells outside.
