Instructions
 

  • Download, print, and cut out the Mermaid Seashell Bag pattern with scissors. Trace shell pattern once, flip it over, and trace the reverse shell image a second time on craft felt with a marker. Then trace the handle pattern once onto craft felt with a marker.


  • Cut out all patterns with scissors, cutting inside the traced lines, so you have a clean-finished project. The younger kiddos might need some help with the cutting.


    Cutting Seashells from Felt
  • Outline and accent the felt seashells with a coordinating color of glitter glue. Set aside to allow glitter glue to dry. Place patterns on a piece of scrap cardboard, so they are easier for the kiddos to transfer.

  • To finish, glue each end of the felt handle to the inside top center of each felt shell. You can use liquid craft glue if you prefer, but you’ll have to wait a while to let it dry.
