Shell Jars 2

    I know...I know...I already posted about the shell jars!  :)  But, I finally made Bo & Rocco their jars, so that when we go to the beach this summer, they will have their own special place to keep a shell to remember our trip!  I just wanted to show you all that I actually got something done! 

    They make GREAT baby gifts, personalized &
pretty inexpensive.

    First, you can get these jars at Target.    I got the boys' bigger ones for 5 bucks at Target.  I actually like the little ones better and they are even cheaper (pantry isle).

I picked up this little pack of shells at Michael's (just a craft store)for $1.00.

Next, pick a color & paint. :) 

Attatch the shells with a hot glue gun.

Find some lettering you like & just stick it on.

Done!  See?  Easy, cute, keepsake!

    Just perfect to start your shell collections!  One shell goes in each time you visit the ocean!  I like to use a permanent marker to mark them with this information:

child's age

date

place

number of shell put in the jar

who traveled with you

Bo has 1

Annie has 4.

Poor Rocco has an empty jar.

But, he will get his first one this summer!

If you live near an ocean you might just use it to dump shells into. :)

But one thing is for sure....the kids LOVE their jars.

Hey Rocco!  I just put that on there! 

Oh, & if Rocco comes to visit you...keep it up high :)

Let me know if you make one!

I'd LOVE to see it!
