Make a paper shell collection with nine distinct designs, from a fan-shaped scallop and rounded spiral to an open bivalve. Each shell has one natural color palette, plus matching black-and-white and outline options. Resize them for beach-themed coloring pages, collages, garlands and classroom displays, then save as PDF, SVG or transparent PNG.

Width starts at 1 cm, with no fixed 100 cm limit. Height keeps the original proportions. Large designs can span up to 100 printed sheets. In free arrangement, use Fit all designs after enlarging a design; adding sheets alone does not enlarge it.
Outline: outer contour for tracing and cutting out. Black and white: detailed line art for coloring pages and craft templates. Color: ready-made decorations.
Place multiple illustrations wherever you like, at any size.
Applies when printing across multiple sheets. With no overlap, trim the blank margins and align the image edges.
Save a settings file to reuse later on this template page. Includes automatic arrangements, free layouts, paper, sizes and line thicknesses. Loading replaces the current settings; Undo restores them. Files are processed on your device.
Select an illustration to add it. Drag a design to move it. Use the top handle to rotate and the lower-right handle to resize.
Add enough sheets to fit every design at its current size.
2 across × 3 down = 6 sheets. Adding sheets keeps designs the same size.
Blue bands show where sheets overlap. Guides are not printed.
Use “Fit all designs” to adjust the canvas to fit every illustration without resizing it. To choose an exact size, open “Set width and height”.
The finished size and number of sheets appear at the top of the preview.
Blue bands show the 5 mm overlap between neighboring sheets. Trim the blank margin from one sheet, align the matching artwork, then tape or glue the sheets together.
Blue bands and sheet guides are not printed.
Making the canvas smaller does not shrink the illustrations. Anything outside the canvas is cropped when saving or printing.
Changing the paper or orientation keeps illustration sizes and positions unchanged. Up to 100 sheets are supported.
Mix broad fan shells, long narrow shells and curled spirals for a seaside collage. Use smaller copies around a picture frame or string larger cutouts into a garland. Choose the same width for a simple matching activity, or vary the sizes for a display.
Select Black and White to keep the shell ridges and spiral lines for coloring. Use Color for the natural palette, or Outline when you only need the outer cutting shape. Print at 100% scale to keep your chosen size.
The nine designs include a tilted scallop, a closed oval clam, a rounded spiral, a tall turret, a whelk-shaped shell, an empty shell valve, an open bivalve, a long mussel-shaped shell and a cowrie-shaped underside. These are stylized craft illustrations, not scientific identification diagrams.
Yes. Choose Black and White for the detailed line drawing, then save and print a PDF. The matching outer shape makes it easy to cut out the colored shell afterward.
Choose Outline for a simple shell silhouette without the inner ridges. For a beach collage with ready-made details, choose Color or Black and White instead.
