Instructions

  • If you're using found shells, wash and let dry completely.
  • Paint the inside of the shell with white acrylic paint to cover any darker spots. Let dry and repeat if needed.
  • Separate the napkin into layers. Dry fit the top layer with the pattern on it to the inside of the oyster shell.
  • spread an even layer of Mod Podge over the painted inside of the shell. Carefully smooth the napkin in place, avoiding wrinkles. Trim any excess napkin around the edges.
  • Spread a thin layer of Mod Podge over the top of the napkin and let it dry. Repeat with one or two more coats, until it has a smooth gloss. Let dry.
  • Use the gold metallic marker to paint the edges of the shell. Let dry and repeat if needed.
