Hi! I am looking to frame a shell - is there any way of doing this myself? Not sure where I would take it to be framed if not? Thank you

Box frame. Hobbycraft sell them.

Yes box from and glue it to card

Paint the inside of a small cardboard box, use superglue or glue gun to attach shell. Any slall box will do.
Or get 4 small twigs or bits of driftwood, fix corners together with elastic bands, tie bit of fabric over to cover bands, double sided tape onto cardboard, glue shell on top...

Yeah, box frame from The Range:

and sticky dots or hot glue for the shell

I have made loads of scrabble frames (as gifts and to order) using the box frames, they're great quality

Did anyone else click on this expecting an Excel or Python question? Or just me?!

You could use a sample piece of wallpaper for the background, add some other elements and make it into a beautiful piece of art
