Ocean themed gift to make?

Question

It's my BFF's 13th birthday!

Her party is ocean themed.

I'm got her a treasure box and filled it with sand, shells, sea glass, nail polish and a book.

But I wanted to give her one more thing that I made [because my mom said she might not be that appreciative of what we got her compared to how much work I put into it]

I don't want to buy anything else I just want to make her something out of regular house hold items

Not to childish please

We still have a bunch of leftover shells

thanks in advance!!

**10 points will be rewarded to best answer**

please give me LOTS of ideas

Answer 1

make her a necklace out of the shells.  I know some of them have holes in the top and they make really cute jewelry

you can also break up some leftover shells and get a blank frame.  glue the shell pieces onto the frame.

Something that she can always keep ( did this for my son) you can take one of the bigger shells, and write the date (her birthday for example) you can use sparklie pens or glitter pens.  Or put something like "you and me bff " or whatever you kiddies say these days lol :-)

Answer 2

1.necklace and bracelet

2.make the shells into sea creatures by gluing eyes and pip cleaners on them for  more decoration

3.make a wind chime by stringing them together

7.this might be a little childish, but make her a sea shell tiara.

i hope this helps

Answer 3

make a neclace out of the shells

take something that is her favorite and put shells over it

For example; if she loves ice cream, make a scuplture of an ice cream cone with shells.

you could write her a poem and put the shells on the paper and make sure the poem is about the ocean.

Ask her what she wants and make a cooler version of it with shells. :)

Answer 4

Here is a web site that I use off and on for different kinds fo r crafts. You can make a candle using melted wax and see shells. you can use a paper milk carton and place chipped ice in the bottom then layer a fer shells  and the more ice,more shells etc. then when all layers reach the top, pour the melt wax over them and let set until. hard and then peel milk carton away and then the is a nice candle.

Answer 6

Buy a cheap picture frame and glue sea shells on it. Put a pix of you and your BFF - it's something she can keep for a while that remind of your friendship.

Answer 7

possibly take an old cigar box or a box that opens like that line it with some sort of paper so it doesnt look so tackie spray it with a sweet smell something nice. then on top glue a picture of you two on the cover around it spread glue and glue some sand down around the picture and on the corners of the picture place sea shells.  you could cover the rest of the box in sand also ... maybe a felt inside  and bottom would be best. this way she can store anything she wants in there

Good luck you are a good friend!
