Shell Treasure Box

"Use your collection of shells and nautical napkins to create this Shell Treasure box- for holding MORE beach finds, of course! You can complete the project in an afternoon using craft paint, shells, napkins, glue, and wood beads. It's a perfect beginner craft and can be made with dollar-store items and found objects- so this nets out to under $5 and won't break the bank. The finished box makes a lovely gift, can hold potpourri, or trinkets on your nightstand."
