Enjoy the fun of a beach vacation all year long with a beach scrapbox on your wall. It’s a 3-D frame filled with a snapshot of the seashore and/ or other souvenirs, like shells, sand, sea glass—anything that says beach to you. Glue the objects to the back of the frame, hang the scrapbox on your wall and look at it any time you need a little sunshine. Making it is half the fun—reliving your beach days every time you see it is the rest!
Ideas for Filling Your Beach Scrapbox
—Add sand to your shadow box, below your beach photo
—Collect sand from all of the beaches you’ve visited; store the different sand in decorative jars that you can display
—Arrange shells in a collage with individual labels describing where they’re from
—Make a different beach scrapbox for every year, either showing the same beach or different ones
—Frame postcards
—Draw pictures of yourselves swimming, surfing, having fun at the beach and include those in the frame
There are as many options as there are ways to have fun at the beach.
