Seashell Book or Journal

Find two plastic or real shells and drill 3 small holes in each. Fold paper in half and trace around and cut so that the pages will fit nicely. Punch corresponding holes in the papers. Stack all and tie together with string.

You can leave the pages blank to write your beachy musings or use paper with pictures on them, like this gal did.

Cute!
