Henry's Star

Dan's sister is having another baby and every time they have a child we each get a wooden wall decoration to design. This time around it is a Star. So after much thought and pondering I decided to give the baby a taste of Michigan to hang on the wall :) I got sand and sea shells from Mackinaw City, MI. It is one of my favorite places and thought I could cover the star in sand and then add the shells on top.

Using Modge Podge to coat the shells and sand

All done!!

I LOVE how it turned out. Plus you can run your hands over it and feel the sand and shells with out any of it falling off! I can't wait to send it to get hung on the wall.
