I had someone build some plain flat wooden frames for me. Then I painted them, and glued the
seashells on them. You can also use pine bark nuggets to make a pretty frame. Let your
imagination run wild.
Seashell Chimes by Jan Bachelder
Seashells make great wind chimes! Drill holes and string them from large to small, hang from
crossed dowels painted in a complimentary color.
Seashell Ideas by Jean, Minnesota Crafter
1. Use them to cover indoor plant pots. Hot glue should make it quick and easy.
2. Cover boxes with them.
3. Use them as the handles for other boxes.
4. My daughter gave me a larger one to use as a soap dish in the bathroom. Smaller shells
were used for the feet. I don't use bar soap, so I use it as a trinket holder.
Shell Angels by Kim Caswell
I have been making shell angels for years. They are quick and easy to assemble with hot
glue. The hardest part is matching the right shells.
1. The bigger or wider shells are for the "skirt/dress." Lay the "bowl" part of the shell
downward and color match two smaller shells for the wings.
2. Glue these together end to end to look like a bow tie.
3. Use one even smaller shell for the head. Glue this at the center of the "bow tie" (bowl
side down).
4. Then, glue the "wings & head" to the top of the larger shell, so the rounder portion of the
shell is at the bottom. No need for a face.
