Answer 1

depending on their size, you can make a variety of stuff.

*  the large ones you can use a stand-alone show pieces or clumped together on a corner table.

*  you can make an artificial landscape depicting either a sea shore or a rockery garden with "cobbled" pathways.first lay out your plants, pebbles, sand, shells, artificial birds/butterflies/animals, a small doll's cottage... in a large tray, then pour some water and hey, you've brought back the beach with you ;-)) [it looks really great - do try it]

*  make a long-stemmed flower arrangement (fresh or dried or artificial) in a shallow container & arrange the shells at the base.

*  sprinkle them around already potted plants

*  invent a game to play with your friends

these are short-term uses; you can change at will.

for some permanent uses and as self-made gifts which willbe appreciated -

*  stick them around a photo-frame, vase, clock, lamp shade, etc, artistically.

*  use them on table napkin rings , or on place cards

*  to make greeting cards

*  for girls, stick them on hair pins, hair bands, bracelets

*  carefully pierce a hole in a nice shell & insert it as a lucky charm in your friendship bracelet

all the best with your projects - enjoy :-))

Answer 2

Collect some pieces of driftwood and use your shells and the wood to make a hanging mobile.I used to make lots.Look really neat hanging and catching the sunlight.

Answer 3

If they are small:  You could glue then around a nice wooden picture frame.  And use a picture of yourself you took while at the beach.

Likewise, you could also glue them to a cheap vase.  

If they are bigger, they could be glued to a set of bookends.  

It is also possible to buy large frames that are about 3 inches deep. They could be mounted in one of these.
