Seashell Mail Organizer: Mail Holder Shells

Video Transcript

"Now that we have painted our craft with our base color and allowed that to dry we are going to start with our scalloped shells, and these are going to be the basis to hold the actual mailer notes. You want to note that they are almost equal in size and have a nice, long ridge at the bottom for gluing. You're going to take the bottom of your ridge and your glue gun and squeeze a generous amount so that it's going to cover both sides, you can let it overlap that's not a problem, and then you're going to hold it on the right hand side or the left whichever you choose and you're going to hold it 1/4" in from the edge of the wood and when you do your second shell, you'll do the same, equal in distance, and then you have that nice big opening there. Now this shell, you're going to have to hold for a good 15-20 seconds. If you start to take your finger away, and it starts to wobble, it is not dry yet. You want to make sure it is in there good and tight. Once you have done that, we're going to repeat the same on the other side. Alright, now we are ready to do our other shell, and that's going to complete the male shelling of our organizer."
