If you have a room with a beach theme, you could put them there. Some people even make lamps out of them and they are beautiful.
Depending on the size of each shell, they make a great soap dish gift...just glue some small round beads ( 1/4 inch or smaller) as a leveling leg system...usually three in a triangle set does the job. They also make great serving dishes for small treats using the same three-bead level system idea.
Stuff with a small stuffed "pillow" and use as a pin cushion! Or as a small holder for potpourri. Have fun!
Hello Ironhorse68450, My husband is from Massachusetts and they sell a treat called stuffed quahogs. It is a flavorful stuffing with clams in it. They are served on scallop shells. You could give them a try. Good luck.
I'd use them in the corners of a large picture frame.
Melt the wax from a tea light candle into each shell and add a wick. Let them harden and use as a cute candle. Or, check my project page to see the fun seashell plant markers I made using a variety of seashells.

Spray paint them gold and silver, add a fake pearl from old broken jewelry and hot glue a ribbon on the back for a great seaside Christmas tree ornament. Or you can melt a tea light candle (remove from tin) and make a shell candle. Or you can follow this tutorial I found: http://yesmissy.com/diy-seashell-candles/
I made my girlfriend an oval mirror with shells all around it for above her fireplace mantel. I used a hot glue gun. You could use your scallops on the top, bottom and sides as the focus. Then get some baskets of shells at the Dollar Tree, I think I used 4 baskets worth to do her mirror. I first painted it a color to go with her decor, then glued it all around several inches. Everybody loves it.
