When I was a teenager Pac Man was the HOTTEST game to play. I admit, I enjoyed playing it too. Even at the age of 55…I still enjoy sitting down to play a few games of Pac Mac. It’s a classic and even my grandchildren love to play it.

This hand painted Pac Man Game themed seashell design is easy to make. It’s great for a beginner, no artistic talent required. You’ll need a combination of acrylic craft paints and a brush along with acrylic paint pen markers to make it. The design can be painted onto a clam shell or a smooth rock. Hey, rock painting is popular too!
I opted to use a 4″ wide clam shell that I collected from the beach. Washed the seashell in warm, soapy water using Dawn Liquid Dish Soap. It’s the best for removing sand, debris and fishy odors. Rinse with clean water and air dry.
Using a paint brush and black acrylic craft paint…give the clam shell 2 base coats of paint. Allow for 30-40 minutes of drying time between coats. The paint needs to be completely dry before moving onto the next steps.
To keep it simple and easy…use Acrylic Paint Pen Markers to make the design. I started with the green game lines and then added the yellow mini dots. You know…the path that Pac Man travels. Use the photograph for referrence. I then added the red and blue monsters at the bottom with Pac Man sitting above them to the right. The decorating of the seashell took me less than 10 minutes to do thanks to using the Acrylic Paint Pen Markers. Let it dry for a few hours to allow the paint to cure.
Finishing up – I used a foam brush and brushed on 2 coats of clear Mod Podge Sealer with a Glossy Finish, allowing for 30 minutes of drying time between the 2 coats. This will protect the painted finish and give the seashell a nice glossy shine!
