This is an easy Pearl in a Clam Shell Beach Wedding invitation project if you break it down into a number of different steps and don't let them overwhelm you.

The first step is to find some photos of sea shells or clams. Look for different shapes and large sizes.

Wedding invitations traditionally have quite a bit of information printed on them, so your Pearl in a Clam Shell Beach Wedding invitations will need to be big enough to include all of the information you want on there. Once you have found a variety of sea shell and clam shapes you will want to lay them out on some regular drawing paper, trace them or draw them free hand and cut them out.

Now, you want this invitation to open up like a clam, so fold your paper in half and place the sea shell or clam shape so that the fold will allow it to open. Lay this out flat when you transfer the shape to your watercolor paper.

You can make a variety of different sea shell shaped invitations or stick with one pattern. Cutting them out allows you to see how well your Beach wedding invitation information will fit on the specific sea shell and clam shapes.
