Sea Glass and Starfish Shadow Box



This little shadow box project kept the Seamaiden from going stir crazy during Hurricane Irene. I hope all my readers weathered the storm safely.

Materials
8" x 10" x 2 1/2" shadow box in white (or use flat white spray paint)
3 lb. glass gems with glass seashells by Marble Accents
12 oz. sea green glass gem/rock mix by Akasha
19 authentic or imitation pink sea glass shards in varying sizes
Large and medium decorative starfish by Panacea
Goop

Directions
Using goop, affix glass gem/rock mix around the front edges of the shadow box frame as shown. Let dry thoroughly.
Using goop, affix remaining glass gem/rock mix and sea glass shards to each side of the shadow box. To keep gems and sea glass shards from sliding, it is best to turn each side of the shadow box upright and glue on the gems and shards. Let each side dry thoroughly before beginning to work on the other sides.
Carefully arrange the glass gems with glass seashells onto the backing of the shadow box. Place the starfish on top of the glass gems and glass seashells. Carefully place the backing onto the shadow box frame and fasten in place.
