    I loved this tutorial! I just purchased several of these decorated shells from my hair stylist. This will be an awesome project to do with my grandchildren. Will hunt the beach for the perfect shell. Thank you for sharing these

    Thank you for your tutorial! Yours went a little more detailed on certain aspects I wanted to know than most others. Such as, how to remove the excess design from the edges of the shell more cleanly. The addition of your sweet co-host, Jagger, was chef’s kiss! Hope you and Jagger are well!❤

    The part about painting the shell is ‘blink-and-you-miss-it’ I watched twice to catch this detail. The project is simple and end result lovely.

    Your tutorial is excellent. Thank you very much. I peeled the two layers off my napkin. I’m wondering why you find this step necessary or better? Also your cat is precious. Thanks again!

    • @thesaltyspirit3088
      @thesaltyspirit3088  2 місяці тому

      The reason why I pull that second layer off is because when I didn’t, many times when I was going to smooth it out, the top layer buckled and the bottom layer stayed! I guess it doesn’t always happen and believe me I know how difficult it is to smooth it out with such a thin piece of material but I just find that it’s better to get all the bottom layers off. And what’s equally as important is definitely using saran wrap or a plastic bag of some sort when you’re smoothing it.

      Thank you! I will continue to peel the layers. Your tip about using saran wrap is very helpful 😻

      Yes! I usually leave it natural but I have painted it gold as well. Definitely looks pretty.

      You absolutely can. It’s really a personal preference. I personally like the shine that it leaves.
