DIY Gorgeous Seashell Map Gift

"I love to holiday by the seaside and so does my family. After picking up a large shell from my last visit to the beach I thought I would use it to make a fun unique gift for the family. I printed a map of their favorite seaside destination onto tissue paper and then decoupaged this onto the inside of the shell. I then added a bit of glamour with some gold paint before mounting the shell into a picture frame."
