Ingredients
  

  • EasySculpt Epoxy Modeling Clay
  • Gold 8×10 photo frame size and finish of your choice
  • Embellishments such as sea glass, shells, pebbles and white sand
  • A release agent such as vegetable oil, olive oil or Castin’ Craft Mold Release and Conditioner
  • Gloves wooden craft sticks

Instructions
 

  • Disassemble and thoroughly clean the photo frame and glass, and all the beachy embellishments. Let dry completely.
  • To mix the EasySculpt, scoop out equal parts of the two components using two wooden sticks (avoid cross-mixing the materials in the containers).
  • Spread a bit of the release agent on your gloves to keep the keep the clay from sticking to them. Completely blend the two components together until a consistent colour is achieved (no ribbons or marbling; about 1-2 minutes).
  • Separate the clay into four small balls and place them on different sections of the frame.
  • Push the clay around to cover the surface of the frame as much as possible.
  • Continue with the next batch until you’ve covered most of the frame.
  • Start assembling your embellishments. We started with the seashells, then pebbles, then filled in any gaps with the green and white sea glass pieces for a mosaic effect.
  • Finally, pour some white decorative sand over the entire surface. It will adhere to the clay but fall off the other areas of the frame. Let cure fully overnight and then shake off and discard any loose sand.
