Yup, It’s that time again! Time to unveil this month’s crafts project that I have created using supplies from Pretty Paper Studio, an online crafts shop. For those of you who missed it, I am honoured to be part of their 12 member PPS UAE Design Team, who will be bringing you a range of fun creative art projects for the next couple of months, complete with informative tutorials so you too can recreate them at home. You can have a look at my debut crafts project here, where I created a Number Recognition Game for my Toddler.

The theme for the month of December is “Gold”, and for this I decided to create a Seashell Memory Frame. Master Z and I have a habit of collecting seashells whenever we visit the beach so you can imagine we had quite a few at hand. With the impending arrival of Baby number 2, I wanted to create something special with these shells to remind us of the time when it was just me and my first born. Just Master Z and myself, a tribute to spending every waking (and sleeping) moment together and how magical our mother and son bond is.

Below is a sneak peak of how I turned these rough shells into magical objects using the Gold Foil method, but to know how I went about creating the entire thing, head on over to the photo tutorial I have written on the Pretty Paper Studio Blog to have a read.

I hope you enjoy reading my photo tutorial, and if you do get inspired to recreate it to capture any seashells or sentimental objects you have collected on family adventures, please do share your projects with me by posting photos on social media using the hashtags #ppsuae #prettypaperstudio #madewithppsuae . Don’t forget to tag me on Instagram and/or Facebook, so I can see!
