You can buy one for about $2 at Hobby Lobby, 1801 W. 23rd St. Spread craft glue around the edges (don't worry about getting it even) and sprinkle sand. Shake off the excess. Using a hot glue gun, glue the shells around the frame. Let dry and slide in your photo. For the perfect frame for your camping pic, use sticks and dried flowers instead. Don't know what to do with the shells you picked up from the beach during spring break? Keep them from settling at the bottom of your closet by making your own vacation souvenirs. To personalize your souvenirs, label them with the date and location. (The underside of the shell or the back of the picture frame work well.) Give homemade souvenirs to your friends and family, or keep them for yourself. They're a great way to remember the perfect vacation. —Leigh Ann Foskey
