Grab your favorite Aleene’s adhesive and start preserving those warm-weather memories in creative, personal style.
#1 Covered Memory Album
Cover a blank memory album with your favorite fabric, smoothing it over the front and back covers and securing the edges with Aleene’s Felt & Foam Glue. Cut felt pieces into playful shapes, letters, or accents, then glue them onto the fabric cover to personalize your album with a soft, dimensional design. Let everything dry completely before filling the pages with photos, notes, and favorite summer keepsakes.
#2 Seashell Paint Palette
Give collected seashells an extra ocean-inspired shimmer by lightly coating them with Aleene’s Spray Sealer Pearlescent and letting them dry completely. Then arrange the shells across a wood paint palette and secure each one with Aleene’s Clear Gel Tacky Glue for a clear, strong hold that turns a simple surface into a sparkling summer memory display.
#3 Seashell Topped Wood Box
Transform a simple wood box into a beachy keepsake by arranging your favorite seashells that you’ve added extra shimmer to with Aleene’s Pearlescent Spray Sealer across the lid, then securing each one with Aleene’s Clear Gel Tacky Glue. Its strong, clear-drying hold makes it easy to layer shells, beads, and other small treasures for a textured summer memory box that’s perfect for storing vacation mementos.
