30 Ways to Display a Seashell Collection

If you love the beach, chances are that you have collected a few seashells too! And since your seashell collection tells your story, you want to make it part of your decor. I have pulled together 30 display ideas for inspiration.
One way to show off your collection is by simply putting it into a vessel, such as a bowl, vase, jar, tray, or a basket, but don't stop there. Vessels such as an aquarium or a tool box can be very attractive too!
Other seashell display ideas include deep shadow box frames, cloches, printer trays, shelves, glass coffee tables, fillable lamps, and more.

    LOVE THE FIREPLACE..... what a great idea for a rental space.. it would be great since sometimes restrictions don't allow the fireplace to be used.... I'd have each guest add a shell, write hometown and date on it and add to the collection....
