Making crafts from things you find at the beach
Tiny shells look best in groups; large one can be grouped or displayed on their own. You can use them to wallpaper just about anything, from mirrors and lampshades to walls, wardrobes and curtains, while heavy, flat shells such as scallops make attractive holders for soap, bath pearls, potpourri and candles. Oyster shells candles are marvelous when familiar as part of a table setting and add the perfect accompaniment to a relaxing bath.
Shells are so handsome they make lovely ornaments in their own right. Display them where there is piles of light. Windowsills are ideal places, or you can back-spry them on shelves. Displaying shells in water – in a goldfish move or tropical fish tank, or even just a pretty lorgnon just or vase – makes their colors more bright. Add a decorative touch to a plain terracotta pot. Altogether glue a few of your favorite shells in place along the rim.
But much of the pleasure of shells is in handling them. Scram one or two around where you can pick them up, and hold them to your ear to hear the sound of the sea and take yourself back to long summer holidays worn out on the beach.
Children will love making these beach creatures. All you shortage is craft glue or a hot glue gun and an assortment of joggle eyes.
To make a clam projectile creature, glue two clam shells together at one side to form a CEO with the mouth open. Glue two shells with a vapid bottom to the underside of the clam shell head. Seal two joggle eyes to the top of the clam shell for its eyes.
