Ingredients
Starfish shapes (foam or wooden)
Clear glue
Decorative crystals or glitter
Acrylic paint (beach colors)
Optional: Twine or ribbon for hanging
Optional: Clear varnish
Instructions
Start by painting your starfish shapes in the desired colors. Use bright, beachy hues like blue or sandy beige. Allow the paint to dry completely.
Once the paint is dry, apply a thin layer of clear glue on the surface of the starfish.
While the glue is still wet, generously sprinkle your crystals or glitter onto the glued areas.
Set the starfish aside to let the glue dry and harden fully.
If you want to hang your creation, use a small piece of twine or ribbon to create a loop at the top of your starfish, securing it with more glue if necessary.
Notes
Keep cleanup supplies handy for quick fixes and encourage creativity without stressing perfection.
