Getting Started
Step 1. Let’s start off by hot gluing the shells onto the starfish for the cute bikini top. We used a low temp hot glue gun for this step. Just add a small amount of hot glue to the back of the shells.
Quick Tip: If you have younger kids working on this project make sure to have adult supervision when using the glue gun.
Step 2. Now it’s time to paint in our bathing suits! Pick out your favorite colors and use a thin paint brush for this step.
You can trace out your line first or just free hand it. Both methods work great!
Once your paint has dried you can go back and add some more details to their bathing suits.
Step 3. Next, let’s add our sun glasses. I already had these sunglasses on hand from a previous project. All you need to do is dab a small amount of hot glue onto the back and gently place on the starfish.
Step 4. Finally let’s fill in our scene. Since it’s a beach scene, you’ll need lots of beachy options to choose from!
These beachgoers are ready for a day at the beach now!
