Beach Memory Wall

B-Crafty started the “Beach Memory Wall” right after
she moved into their shore house in OCNJ. Every time one of her
family members or friends came to visit, she would paint their
“footprint” on the wall. It was so fun to see over the years who visited
and left their footprints in the sand and on their Beach Memory Wall.

Issue #93

Occasion: Memory Making

Category: Wall Decoration

Materials Needed:

• Acrylic paints (choose 3-4 colors)
• Paint brushes
• Black Sharpie or Sharpies in the colors of the paint
• Blank large wall in playroom or garage

Instructions:

Ask the person you are adding to the wall to make a fist and hold it up with the outside of the fist facing the painter. Paint the outside of the fisted hand (all around the pinkie finer and down to the wrist.) Press the painted portion of the fist on to the wall and push down gently. When ready, pull the hand off the wall slowly. Paint five dots to be the toes on the top of the print and write their name under the print. Yu can also add the date if you desire.

B-Crafty Tip: B-Crafty started this idea right after we moved into our shore house in OCNJ and every time one of our family members or friends came to visit we would paint their “footprint” on the wall.

B-Crafty Tip: B-Crafty titled their wall in their garage with the address of the house: “1318 Beach Bums”.
