Shining Star(fish)
Posted by Brittney | Filed under Craftiness
So I saw this idea featured on The Nesting Place. Alisa made this great shadow box of starfish and I had to have it! Cute huh?
Well, I checked out Michael’s for starfish. $4 a pop. No thanks. I followed Alisa’s advice and went to Ebay and found a steal of a deal. 50 starfish for $22 with free shipping. Something about free shipping makes me go gaga.
I had a white shadowbox in our closet from my BFF, Mel eons ago (I believe it was from Target). I whipped that baby out and got to work.
I didn’t do anything special to the back of the shadow box. It already came lined with a linen type cloth.
I just grabbed starfish and arranged them how I liked and glued them down. Easy as that! This project took like 10 minutes. 6 of those minutes were spent waiting for the hot glue gun to warm up. For reals. Go get some starfish and do this.
So, have you found any project inspiration on the web lately?

This is a GREAT idea! I might have to copy you for my bathroom
, I have a bunch of these starfish from a sea shore-themed shower (that I ordered also on ebay) and would love to do something cute like this!

That is too cute, i may have to steal the idea as i live at the beach. I can tell you that it was a good deal as the are really pricy here at the beach in the novelty stores.
