How to Use Seashells You Collected from the Beach

So many people go to the beach and collect shells, some young, some old, and then there are those people who fall in between those two catagories.

You can do a few things with these shells depending upon what you are thinking of.

I myself have done these things...

Idea one

Find a cheap picture frame (either wooden or metal, both work), glue the shells around the edges of the frame to give it a beachy look. Add a picture and you have instant artwork. Can also be given as a gift.

Idea two

Use the small shells in a glass bottle with cork, and some sand from the beach, to display either in your bathroom, room, or elese where in your house/apartment/office. This is a great reminder of your relaxation time at the beach, or a reminder of a special someone.

Idea three

Take some of that sand that was left behind in the shells or that you collected, and mix it with elmers white glue, and glue it onto a scrapbook page (this creates great textures), and then once the sand mixture has dried, you can glue on some of those seashells that you collected to give your scrapbook page a personal touch!

Idea four

Use some of that sand, in a glass dish/platter, and then randomly place some of your shells in the sand, and place in your bathroom, for a great beachy feel in your bathroom. You can also place candles in this dish, so you have a really relaxed atmoshphere!

Well I hope you liked my ideas. I hope you enjoyed and have fun crafting your great new projects with your seashells and sand!
