1) Off to the sea…
To make the memories of your last beach holiday as real as possible, first create a mini sea on your memory box. Therefore, draw the size of your lid with a pencil on the lake film. Then cut out the lake film accordingly. Afterwards, cut the foil diagonally and in the shape of waves. This creates a sea with waves. Now stick the lake film onto your box with the temporary glue and press it on well. It's best to let the lid dry briefly.

2) Design the beach!
After the lake film has dried, paint the rest of the surface with the temporary glue and glue on the figures you want. I decided on the bathers. They lie comfortably on the beach and the kids splash around in the water or build a sandcastle. Now sprinkle sand on everything. Let the sand dry and shake off the rest. If there are still gaps, simply apply more glue and sprinkle the area with sand again. Repeat, until everything is covered. Finally, glue some grass tufts onto your beach landscape. Now your great holiday memory box is ready.
Your crafted results
Now you can store your souvenirs, treasures and finds from all over the world. Shells, driftwood, stones, tree bark, jewellery and much more fit into the box! The next time you're longing for a holiday, just take out your memory box and while looking at your holiday souvenirs you will remember all the great stories from your last trips. By the way, this craft idea is also perfect as gift packaging for your next pool party :)
Have fun collecting holiday ideas!
