DIY Shell Hurricane Lamp

This can be called shell hurricane lamp, but it could also be called, "What to do With all those Shells you gathered on your Vacation". Shell hurricane lamp was easier.
These shells were gathered from a vacation to Maine back in 2001. They have sat in my basement ever since. Not because I couldn't think of a project...I just forgot they were there.

I think it goes without saying that you can’t attempt this project without a nice supply of shells, some plain fabric, hot glue sticks and a hurricane lamp.
Starting at the bottom, glue your shells on with hot glue fitting each row into the previous one. Glue the seam open as you go and the top seam down when you get to it. The seams will disappear as you cover them with shells.
