    I have a great idea for seashells .

    Simply take an old mirror and paint the frame or white or cream if most of the shells are white or cream. Pain to frame a dark-brown if most of the shells are dark-brown or light. Once the frame is dry then Use E 6000 glue and attach the shells to frame . I would recommend that you attach The shells in kind of a layered overlapping manner, but start with one layer and then build on it from there. Do not worry about covering every single piece of the frame unless that's the look you are going for ...I hope this helps !

    Hello Liz; Using Shells in Crafts or Decorating is unlimited, as there are so many things that you can do with them!!!

    I have a massive glass jar. I keep it on a table, as I place newly acquired shells into it. It looks nice, and is a conversation piece.

    I make all kinds of Crafts with shells.

    I have several things in a Bathroom.

    I have used shells to cover tissue holders, mirrors, buckets, swags, candles, Christmas balls, jewelry....I am constantly creating with shells!!!

    I hope that these ideas will help you!!! Have fun and Take Care!

    first pic is just lots of shells and shell trimmed things. Second pic is shell crown my granddaughter made last Halloween 'cause she was a mermaid. I also. for her room here in our house, got wooden letters to spell out her name and covered each letter with small shells and then we put them on a backing board and hung it in her room.

    I have a LOT of seashells. Some I picked up from a beach in FL and bought a lot more. I had a square short approx 4x4 clear glass. I put a picture of my husband and I on that very beach on the inside and filled it with those shells. I am in the processing of making wind chimes out of them also. I'll be using fishing line to hang them. I also hot glued some to a ribbon that matches my bathroom color and put them around the oblong basket where I keep my bathroom items. Hope this helps.
