This Sea Shell Fish In an Aquarium Craft is gorgeous enough to hang on your wall! Gather big and small sea shells to put together this easy craft!

Have you been on a beach holiday recently? One of the best parts of beach holidays in my childhood was walking along the shores, gathering cute sea shells and then washing off the sand. Once we reached home, it was time to proudly display them on the shelf if they were big, or in a jar if they were small.

We’ve decided to recreate those memories by using those shells in a craft – a sea shell fish! These little fish are absolutely adorable, and they’re very easy to make. If you have multiple kids, let each one make a fish so that the aquarium turns out to be a collaborative project!
