Easter this year falls on Sunday April 21st. I’m one of those people who prefer for it to fall in late March or in early April. I just prefer the holidays to be more evenly spread out, especially after a long winter season.

Anyway, I’ve got another easy-to-make craft project to share with all of you and this one is easy enough for older children to make too! You can use these painted chicks seashells to decorate the inside of your home, as part of the decor on your holiday table or place them outside to welcome visitors to your home. If you’re tired of the same old, same old tradition of hiding painted Easter eggs, paint up a slew of your seashells and hide those instead!
If you enjoy painting on seashells or crafting with seashells…you’ll find over 70+ seashell craft projects right here on the Two Classy Chics blog! We will be sharing more seashell craft projects in the future too!
Painted Yellow Chicks Seashells for Easter Decorating
Large Clam Seashells
Yellow, White, Black, Blue and Orange Craft Paint
Paint Brush, Water Dish, Paper Towels
Clear Acrylic Spray Sealer
Base coat your large clam shells with 2 coats of bright yellow acrylic craft paint and let dry. Using the black paint make 2 ovals to serve as the eyes. Use the orange paint to make a triangular-shaped beak. Let dry.
Using white paint make 2 smaller sized ovals to serve as the chick’s inner eye. Use blue paint to make a small arc-shape in the corner of each eye. Use the black paint and a fine-tip paint brush to add-on the eyebrows, eyelashes and to outline the beak. Let dry.
Take your painted seashells outside and lay them on old newspaper or on an old plastic placemat. Lightly spray them with the clear acrylic sealer. You will need 1 coat if displaying them indoors and 2 coats if you’re displaying them outdoors. Let them dry for 2-3 hours or until no longer tacky. That’s it, you’re done!

I love how bright these re and kids would enjoy both making them and decorating with them. You always show us the best seashell crafts.
These are so bright and cheery. I love the way you painted the eyes they are so adorable. This is super cute for spring.
Tour shells make me smile! Thank you.
More seashells. I like the idea of painting these instead of Easter eggs to hide.
