This shimmery clam craft is full of surprises! I started with a simple shell template cut from scrap paper, then traced it onto a paper plate. Add a splash of paint, some marker details, and even a sprinkle of glitter if you like! I used a polystyrene ball for the pearl, but pom-poms, paper balls, or even cotton wool work great too. So easy, so fun — perfect for ocean-themed play or display! #craftideas #crafts #funcrafts #easycrafts #craft #crafting #preschoolactivities #kidscrafts #preschoolat

DIY: How to use a clamp shell bead tip -Knot the thread and trim the excess. -Use a crimp at the end of the thread. Make sure to use the right size crimp so that it doesn't try to escape out the sides. -Bead tips are a great alternative to crimp covers and they already have a hole for jump rings or clasps for easy finishing. | Love Beads
