"Hi, we're going to be using sea shells today to make this great little mail organizer. It's perfect for just setting on your desk. So, what we're going to need is piece of craft wood you can get from a local shop that sells craft supplies. You are going to need acrylic paint in various colors. You're going to need some sea shells and you're going to want two scout shells like this about the same size. Then you're just going to want some other various shells for decoration. We're going to need ribbon which we have here, a paper plate for our paint pallet and you're going to need two brushes. You're going to need a small artist brush and then you're also going to need a larger brush and the last thing we're going to need to put this look together is hot glue gun and some epoxy glue and then you're all set to get started on your sea shell organizer. And the final touch I recommend getting is you can either get some beach sand cause we're going for a beachy theme or you can get these great beads. There in the sand colors and we're going to use those with our epoxy glue and glue them down and make them look like it's a little beach for the shell organizer just a nice touch you can add."
