Here are some switch plate covers that my daughter and I made today for some graduation gifts. We bought the switch plate covers in almond to match the sand. We used seashells that we gathered at the shore at Camp Erdman last weekend. We smeared gel medium over the top of the switch plate cover then put more gel medium on each shell and stuck them on. Finally, we poured sand over the whole thing and gently pressed it in to make it stick well. It's just a little something from Hawaii to take with them on their journey! Hopefully, it'll bring them some joy when they look at it and feel the sand and shells from home.
those turned out really pretty!

Welcome back. Disney Land and Camp Erdman? What a great summer. I spent many a day gathering shells at Erdman. The light switch covers are really cool. Psyche looks very happy:) The yarn is some "vintage" mercerized cotton from my stash.
